Abstract

The blood was collected from cardiac puncture ofr h n mon,hly fOr ana,ysis' syringes, with tetra acetic acid (EDTA) used a, = I disposable heParinized subjected to analysis of variance (ANO^f m ? ?a9 r*’ThS date “llected *ere fOre/hamnniAk(anOVA) to test significant difference among the parametersjhemoglobin concentration, mean corpuscular volume, mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration,, mean corpuscular hemoglobin .packed cell volume, red blood cell, an white blood cell). At the end of the experiment, treatment 4(20 fish) had the leaf hemoglobin concentration (Hb) 3.0±0.3g/10bml,while treatment 1 has the highest hemoglobin concentration 4.0±1.3g/100ml followed by treatment 2 (10 fish) 3.8±0.3g/100ml and treatment 3 (15 fish) 3.4±0.2g/100ml respectively. Treatment 4 recorded the highest in mean corpuscular hemoglobin 31.70±8.4pgcell, while treatment 1 had the least 17.65±5.6pgcell followed by treatment 2 (21.08±2.2pgcell) and treatment 3 (22.67±0.6pgcell). There was no significant difference in mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration among the treatments. Treatment 1 attained the highest result in mean corpuscular volume 91.77±23.1, treatment 4 had the least 52.95±15.7 followed by treatment 3(63.25±5.4) and treatment 2 (66.72±2.0). Treatment 1 has the highest packed cell volume 12.0±1.5, while treatment 4 had the least 9.0±1.5 followed by treatment 3 (10.0±0.5) and treatment 2 (11.0±0.5).Treatment 1 recorded highest in red blood cell 1.9±3.2 while treatment 4 recorded the least 1.2±3.8. Treatment 4 recorded the highest in white blood cell 5.1 ±8.0, treatment 1 had the least value 3.918.0. haematological studies on Clarias gariepinus conducted in this study after the experiment had significantly lower haematological parameters only the means corpuscular haemoglobin concentration was significantly different (p<0.05).
