“…A number of workers reported that active fishes generally possess higher values for all haematological parameters Sharma et al, 2017;Svobodova et al, 2008). Zhao et al (2018) showed that higher Hb content is required by active fishes for the effective and rapid delivery of oxygen while Motlagh et al (2012) reported that in majority of fishes red blood corpuscles are considered to be the most dominant cell type, playing an important role in the exchange of gases,…”

“…(Collazos et al ., 1998; Pradhan et al ., 2014; Sharma et al ., 2017). Contrary to this, the WBC count was found to be greater in females than in males of S. labiatus , which coincides with studies on other fishes such as C. batrachus (Acharya & Mohanty, 2014), H. molitrix (Ahmed et al ., 2019), S. labiatus (Jan & Ahmed, 2020), L. rohita and T. putitora (Kapila et al ., 2000), B. bendelisis (Sharma et al ., 2017), S. plagiostomus (Sheikh & Ahmed, 2019), Heterobranchus longifilis (Suleiman et al ., 2016) and Rhinogobio ventralis (Zhao et al ., 2018). A higher WBC in female fish signifies that these cells have the ability to respond quickly to the various alterations taking place in the medium because of xenobiotic transformation, which signifies that female fish have better ability than males to deal with toxic stress (George & Akinrotimi, 2017).…”

“…Various types of anaemia, such as microcytic, normocytic or macrocytic, can be characterized by these indices. Insignificant differences ( P > 0.05) in the erythrocyte indices between male and female fish recorded in the current study are in accordance with the findings of other researchers (Acharya & Mohanty, 2014; Ahmed et al ., 2019; Jan & Ahmed, 2020; Sheikh & Ahmed, 2019; Zhao et al ., 2018).…”

“…However, most researchers have reported that the basal level of glucose in fishes changes because of different environmental and nonenvironmental factors (Tavares‐Dias & Moraes, 2004). The level of serum glucose in our study was higher in S. labiatus males than in females and similar inferences have also been reported by other investigators (Ahmed et al ., 2019; Charoo et al ., 2013; Kori‐Siakpere et al ., 2005; Kulkarni, 2017; Zakes et al ., 2016; Zhao et al ., 2018). Elevation in the level of glucose in male fish could be because of a decline in the level of liver glycogen (Ojolick et al ., 1995; Satheeshkumar et al ., 2012; Sharma et al ., 2017).…”

Haematological and serum biochemical parameters are a valuable tool in determining the wellbeing status of different fish species and response in close association to various biological and environmental factors, therefore the aim of the present study was to establish sex-wise reference values of haemato-biochemical parameters of S. labiatus. The haematological parameters such as haemoglobin (Hb) concentration, total erythrocyte count (RBC), total leucocyte count (WBC), packed cell volume (PCV), mean corpuscular haemoglobin (MCH), mean corpuscular haemoglobin concentration (MCHC), mean corpuscular volume (MCV) and serum biochemical parameters such as glucose, cholesterol, urea, total protein, albumin and globulin were analysed. The results revealed that the haematological parameters, i.e., Hb, RBC, WBC and PCV showed significant (P < 0.05) differences with respect to sex. Significantly (P < 0.05) higher values of Hb content (11.18 g dl −1 ), RBC count (1.88 × 10 6 mm −3 ) and PCV (36.15%) were noted in male fish than females throughout the study period, while significantly (P < 0.05) higher WBC count was noted in females (20.38 × 10 3 mm −3 ) compared to males. However, no significant (P > 0.05) difference was observed in erythrocyte indices like MCH, MCHC and MCV between sexes. The serum biochemical parameters, i.e., glucose, cholesterol and urea, also showed significant (P < 0.05) difference between the sexes, but no significant (P > 0.05) difference was noticed in total protein, albumin and globulin. Significantly (P < 0.05) highest values of glucose (116.76 mg dl −1 ) and urea (9.01 mg dl −1 ) were recorded in male S. labiatus, while highest value of cholesterol (223.53 mg dl −1 ) was noted in females. The information generated in the present study gives the basic reference values of haematological and serum biochemical parameters of S. labiatus which will be useful in monitoring the wellbeing status of fish populations. Moreover, the data will also be helpful to ascertain the occurrence of different clinical and subclinical diseases, which may in turn help to boost the overall production of this species.
