Haemoglobin Values of Clarias batrachus Naturally Infected with Digenetic Trematode, Orientocreadium
Journal Title: PARIPEX-Indian Journal of Research - Year 2016, Vol 5, Issue 9
Abstract
The present investigation is an attempt to study the alteration in haemoglobin values of Clarias batrachus infested by the digenetic trematode Orientocreadium. The fish were procured from the local markets of Bareilly region. The blood was taken from the caudal vein and the fish were dissected out to find any possible parasitic infection. Orientocreadium was recovered from the body cavity and mesenteries of the fish. The parasites thus obtained were fixed, stained, dehydrated and mounted as per routine techniques. On the basis of infection, the fish were divided in three groups, Group A (uninfected), Group B1 (1-11 parasites / host) and Group B2 (12-23 parasites / host). In Group A the haemoglobin value was found to be 13.80 ± 0.28gm/dl whereas anemia was observed in Group B1and B2 in which the values declined up to 10.73 ± 0.63 gm/ dl and 8.03± 0.68gm/dl Showing percentage fall of 22.40% and 41.80% respectively.
