The present study is undertaken to determine baseline levels of blood electrolytes for the fish, N.notopterus collected from three different aquatic bodies situated at different locations around Gulbarga region. The electrolytes such as sodium and potassium levels are having some difference in the fish collected from the three aquatic bodies. The data for blood Sodium 88.49 ± 16.68 mmol/l. in t...

Fishes of the Superorder Osteoglossomorpha (the "bonytongues") constitute a morphologically heterogeneous group of basal teleosts, including highly derived subgroups such as African electric fishes, the African butterfly fish, and Old World knifefishes. Lack of consensus among hypotheses of osteoglossomorph relationships advanced during the past 30 years may be due in part to the difficulty of ...

For the purpose of cytological studies and work out the correlations among the teleost fish species, some 5 fish species are selected viz Notopterus notopterus, Labeo rohita, Tilapia mossambica, Clarias batrachus, and Channa gachua. The observations regarding hematology are made from peripheral blood by traditional staining method while histological and cytological studies are done from the sec...
