Hematologic and serum biochemical values for jundiá (Rhamdia quelen)

Fish Physiology and Biochemistry volume 30, pages 21–25 (2004)Cite this article

Abstract

The determination of hematologic parameters for jundiá Rhamdia quelencultivated in ponds is an easy and useful tool for the control of their sanitary and nutritional conditions. In the present work hematologic indices (RBC, WBC, Ht, Hb, MCV, MCH, MCHC), electrolytes (Cl, Na, K, Ca, Mg, P), metabolic products (creatinine, urea, ammonia, glucose, total protein, triglycerides, cholesterol, bilirubin) and enzymes (alanine and aspartate aminotransferase, alkaline phosphatase, lactate dehydrogenase) were measured in a population of jundiá. The mean ± SEM and range were established.
