Impacts of food and habitat on blood profile of rohu Labeo rohita (Hamilton, 1822)

Food and habitat are important environmental factors, which play significant role in the physiology of fish. The present experiment was conducted to ascertain effects food on hematological parameters rohu Labeo rohita reared from first feeding pond with natural foods aquarium using formulated feed for three months (90 days). Fish were sacrificed after rearing period hemato-biochemical (hemoglobin - Hb, red blood cell RBC, white WBC glucose) measured. Hb (%) fish ponds slightly higher than aquarium. RBC (×106/mm3) aquaria showed a decline comparison fish, whereas (×103/mm3) opposite scenario. Blood glucose pond. water quality no difference between two habitats. data reported this study contributes towards knowledge evaluation that crucial establishing physiological range supporting accurate interpretation use examining health status species.
