چکیده

Leucocyte composition in the peripheral blood of brown trout Salmo trutta m. lacustris (L.) aged 1+ was studied in relation to Diphyllobothrium dendriticum (Cestoda) infection at two temperature levels, heated about 15 °C and non-heated which decreased from 11 °C to 7 °C. Blood samples were taken from control and infected fish 12 weeks post infection. The D. dendriticum infection (1–6 per fish) had a significant increasing impact on lymphocyte and neutrophil counts at both temperature levels while thrombocytes were more numerous in control fish, particularly in non-heated water. The total leucocyte counts were not influenced by the D. dendriticum infection. The present water temperatures created differences only in thrombocyte and total leucocyte counts, which were increased in non-heated aquaria.

Growth, nutritional composition, and hematology of Arctic charr (Salvelinus alpinus) exposed to toxaphene and tapeworm (Diphyllobothrium dendriticum) larvae.

Toxaphene, an organochlorine pesticide, is the major contaminant of Arctic charr (Salvelinus alpinus) in the Canadian Arctic. The objective of this study was to investigate the combined effects of toxaphene exposure and infection by the larval stage of the cestode Diphyllobothrium dendriticum on fish growth, nutritional composition, and hematology. Hatchery-reared Arctic charr were subjected to...
