“…is not based on a detailed study of all the developmental stages, and there is none concerning the developmental stages of leucocytes. In this laboratory we had already standardized techniques for the study of various haematological parameters under normal (Mahajan & Dheer, 1979a, 6, c;1980a, b) and stressed conditions (Mahajan & Agrawal, 1979;John & Mahajan, 1979;Mahajan &John, 1981;Mahajan & Dheer, 1982;Mahajan & Dheer, 1983;Dheer et al, 1986), and we have now used these to fill some of the above-mentioned gaps in our knowledge and have correlated measurements with other responses to the environmental conditions.…”

Response of Channa puricrarus to acidic water was studied by exposing fishes to pH 3.5.4.5, 5.5 and 6.5 for 6 weeks. Growth and mortality data indicated increasing stress as the acid level in the ambient water increased. While no mortality was recorded at pH 6.5, a distinct loss of weight compared to continuous gain in body weight in control fish indicated stress. As the pH level decreased, the rate of loss in body weight increased accompanied by mortality which rose to as high as 60% within 3 weeks in fishes exposed to water at pH 3.5.Haematological investigations confirmed the general stress indicated by growth and mortality data. Thus. RBC and related values indicated overall polycythemia. However, eosinophils, basophils. and large and small lymphocytes showed a distinct fall in number as compared to the control .Correlated haematopoietic studies revealed that both the initial and penultimate stages in RBC and neutrophil development recorded an increase parallel to that observed in peripheral blood, but intermediate stages. probably because they were unable to keep pace with the fast turnover, showed a relative decrease.Biochemical investigations showed an increase not only in blood glucose level but also in liver glycogen content. However, there was a significant decrease in muscle glycogen reserves.The significance of these changes is discussed.

Oxygen consumption (OC) is one of important factors in aquaculture activities, as the oxygen is a vital condition for all the organisms living in the water and having an aerobic type of respiration. OC is the preferred method for measuring and reporting the metabolic rate in fish. The aims of this study were to evaluate the effects of salinity on OC and blood properties of grey mullets. Five experimental groups were conducted to measure OC and blood properties of grey mullets Mugil cephalus (BW: 187.9 ± 45.8 g) according to salinity (30→0 psu, 0→30 psu) changes; SDS: fish reared in seawater (SW, 30 psu) directly shifted to SW, SGF: SW fish gradually shifted to freshwater (FW, 0 psu), SDF: SW fish directly shifted to FW, FDF: FW fish directly shifted to FW, and FDS: FW fish directly shifted to SW. The result showed that OC tended to decrease in the groups of SW fish shifted to FW showing 194.5 mg O2/kg/h at 25°C in SDS to 82.4 mg O2/kg/h at 15°C in SGF. On the contrary, OC increased in the groups of FW fish shifted to SW showing 80.5 mg O2/kg/h at 15°C in FDF to 184.0 mg O2/kg/h at 25°C in FDS. Cortisol levels at the end of experiments were rapidly increased with the lowering salinities in SW fish shifted to FW showing 20.6 ng/mL in SDS to 316.2 ng/mL in SDF, while those were decreased with the increasing salinities in FW fish shifted to SW showing 40.2 ng/mL in FDF to 10.3 ng/mL in FDS. However, glucose levels showed no significant differences among all experimental groups. Based on the information from this study, aquaculture of grey mullet might be applied or developed in freshwater due to its osmotic adaptation ability.

“…To study the erythropoietic and neutropoietic lineage of the sh, tissue imprints of the pronephric kidney and spleen were prepared from all the experimental groups at 6h, 12h, 18h, and 24h time points following Dheer et al (1986) and Maiti et al (2000). The tissue imprints were stained with o-Dianisidine and counterstained with Giemsa (O'Brien 1961) as described earlier.…”

Acacia auriculiformis pericarp preparation (APP) has been recently introduced as a piscicide of choice to substitute Mohua (Bassia latifolia) oil cake (MOC). The present study aims to evaluate its effect on circulatory physiology and haematopoiesis of Channa punctatus to justify its mode of action as a piscicide. Profound alterations in the circulatory physiology of Channa punctatus with oligocythemic hypochromic anaemia and significant mobilization of immature cells from the erythropoietic lineage into circulation are evident under APP exposure. A relationship of hypoxia-induced Epo expression with erythropoietic dynamics has been drawn under LC0 APP exposure. However, at both LC50 and LC100 exposure erythropoietic insufficiency and subsequent erythropenia are recorded. The principal secondary metabolite of APP, saponin is held responsible for membrane destabilization, pore formation, and several topographical alterations of erythrocytes. The exocytosis of haemoglobin is confirmed quantitatively and qualitatively. Retention of plasma Hb among the treated fish is substantiated through direct and indirect bilirubin content of blood and the physiological relevance of such condition has been interpreted. Leucocytosis and more specifically neutrocytosis at the initial exposure period observed as an immediate defensive mechanism which is ultimately broken down with exposure concentration and duration. The treated fish develops thrombocytosis as a haemostatic mechanism to check haemorrhage, but the circulatory deficiency ultimately leads to death of the fish.
