“…Hematological parameters in fish are affected by gender, sexual maturity, temperature, dissolved oxygen, pH, some water quality indicators including calcium, magnesium, and nitrate, illnesses, and other environmental factors in this context (Küçükgül et al, 2019). Monitoring environmental quality and the health of fish living in polluted settings has become more appealing and practical with the use of specific biomarkers.…”

The present investigation assessed the toxic effects of aquatic pollution on fish collected from the contaminated station of Chakkamkandam lake. Both, water and fish (Mugil cephalus) samples were collected from lake water of Chakkamkandam lake at Guruvayur (Kerala, India). Fish are the most affected organisms by toxicants present in water bodies among all aquatic creatures because they are the dominant species in this ecosystem. When fish consume contaminated food, pollutants/toxicants enter the fish's digestive system. It can also enter through the fish's gills and skin. After absorption, they are finally transported by the bloodstream to the organs and tissues where they accumulate.Water quality parameters were assessed and various blood parameters of the fish were analyzed. The changes in haemoglobin concentration, red blood cells, and white blood cell count were studied. The secondary blood indices were also calculated. Compared to the reference site, the fish from the lake water showed decreased numbers of RBC, Haemoglobin (Hb), and hematocrit (Hct). However, the values of WBC count, and Mean Corpuscular Haemoglobin Concentration (MCHC) increased significantly. The changes in hematological parameters of fish from the polluted station revealed that the health of fish is disturbed. Additionally, the results suggested that blood parameters are useful, tools in monitoring of aquatic pollution. These biomarkers show that fish have macrocytic hypochromic anemia. Leucocytosis showed a general defence response against pollution-induced toxicity. In conclusion, the results of the current study showed that the water quality impacted hematological profile of the fish Mugil cephalus collected from lake water.

Haematological parameters are frequently used as physiological indicators in aquaculture studies. These parameters also have extended applications in clinical evaluation, diagnosis and prognosis in fish health status. However, no normal reference range of values has been demonstrated in depth for any of these haematological parameters for the European sea bass (Dicentrarchus labrax) or gilthead seabream (Sparus aurata). The main objective of this article is to present for the first time through extended literature review, the haematological parameters normal range values for the two most important aquaculture fish species farmed in Mediterranean Sea, D. labrax and S. aurata, and to demonstrate their similarities and their differences. In this article, we also discuss the environmental and external factors affecting their normal blood parameters values and we propose fundamental guidelines on the reporting units.
