Summary
In the Tench the section of the both vagi induces a decrease of the hematocrit value, which is probably due to an increase of the blood volume. Several weeks after cutting the parasympathetic system, the value of the hematocrit returns to normal. This normalization may be due to nervous regeneration or to endocrine changes.
