“…The normal range of temperature tolerance in the tropics to which fish are adapted is 22-35 o C (Howerton, 2001). This concurs with the work of Adeyemo et al (2003) who found out that during temperature extremes Clarias gariepinus fails to adapt and will be unable to respond physiologically. This results in mortality which is caused by changes in the metabolic pathways and collapse in osmoregulatory functions.…”

“…aurata from this study showed higher RBC during the warm period, probably due to the fact that more cells are required to carry oxygen around the body of fish when the solubility of oxygen is low (STOLEN et al, 1984;PASCOLI et al, 2011). Some authors (ADEYEMO et al, 2009;MIREA et al, 2013) observed similar results in Clarius gariepinus. The increased RBC count may be due to stimulation of erythropoietin by elevated demands for O 2 .…”

“…Increase in temperature causes a large decrease in oxygen affinity of the blood which causes increase in RBC in blood [2]. In earlier studies, [1] observed similar results in Clarius gariepinus. The increased RBC's count may be due to stimulation of erythropoietin by elevated demands for O 2 or CO 2 transport as a result of increased metabolic activity .…”
