A Study of Haemogram of Mud Eel Monopterus cuchia (Ham.) from Eastern Himalayas. (original) (raw)

Monopterus cuchia is a common mud eel distributed all along the North rates of this fish during transportation and marketing, along with its economic value makes it a highly demanding fish in the NorthEastern part of India. M. cuchia is known to have high erythrocytes indices. Hence the present work was carried out to study the morphometric index and its co Eastern Himalayas. Blood parameters like haem packed cell volume (PCV %) were done. Absolute values like mean cell haemoglobin (MCH), mean cell haemoglobin concentration (MCHC) and mean cell volume (MCV) were done from the above bloo correlated(r). The results indicates that there is a positive correlation (r=+0.85) between length and weight of the fish. Wh the Hb content was compared with TEC, it was positively correlated (r=+0.96). However, there was no c haemoglobin either with length (r=+0.08) or weight (r=
