Preliminary Evaluation of an Automated Blood Cell Analyzer for Its Use with Blood Samples from Rainbow Trout Oncorhynchus mykiss

“…Differentiating between thrombocytes and lymphocytes is particularly challenging [ 38 ], as immature thrombocytes (round) may be misclassified as lymphocytes, thus falling into the mononuclear population category [ 7 ]. Similar to other researchers [ 50 , 51 ], we assert that classifying thrombocytes within the mononuclear population yields more reliable results, reducing confounding variables and enhancing consistency. Although the methods are not interchangeable, their overall agreement supports their continued use for comparable clinicopathological interpretations in future studies.…”

Effect of tarpaulin pond on the growth and haematology of catfish (Clarias gariepinus)

“…Haematological parameters of catfish grown in two different environmentsValues are Mean±SEM and those followed by different alphabeth across rows are significantly different at P<0.05The haematological characteristics observed in the present study showed marginal differences when compared with that of C. isheriensis (Kori-Siakpere, 2007) and C. buthupogon (Kori-Siakpere and Egor, 2007). A high RBC and haemoglobin values for earthen pond in this study agreed with earlier works as expected for fast swimming tropical species (Kori-Siakpere and Egor, 2007; Annune and Ahuma, 2008) inhabiting pond water(Fänge, 2002; Alkahem et al, 2008). Similarly, the high WBC values agreed with Fänge (2002) submission of remarkable richness of fish blood in leucocytes, although it can be an indication of diseased conditions but their presence shows the fish are living well with requirements to fight off disease conditions.The derived variable of PCV (or haemocrit) was observed to be lower than expected the reason could be as a result of size of fish used though the values are far above anemic.…”
