Abstract

Fishes are normally exposed to rhythmic and abrupt changes in aquatic environment and can adaptively respond to such changes. Especially bacterial population in excess may exert its stress effect on other biota. The effect of E.coli on the haematology of Cyprinus carpio were done and standard haematological parameters like total erythrocyte count, hemoglobin rate, hematocrit percentage, mean corpuscular hemoglobin (MCH), mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration (MCHC), mean corpuscular volume (MCV), etc were assessed. The results showed changes in the erythrocytic series of the fish infected with the bacterium with an increase in the numbers of circulating lymphocytes.
