The aim of
the current investigation is to evaluate the impact of water quality in
hematological and biochemical blood profile in two habitats of common carp (Cyprinus carpio) captured in Batllava
and in Radoniqi Lake. It has been found that Radoniqi Lake is characterized
with increased levels of physicochemical parameters (T, DO, PO4-3,
NO3-N, NO2-N). In Radoniqi Lake were recorded also heavy
metal content such as Cd, Pb, Ni and Cu while in Batllava Lake only presence of
Cu was recorded. Given the developed agriculture in the region where Radoniqi
Lake is located, increased level of PO4-3, Cd and Cu can
be attributed to agricultural pollution. Blood is taken for hematological (RBC,
Hgb, MCV, MCH, MCHC, WBC), and biochemical (ALP, AST, ALT, Glucose, Cholesterol,
Triglyceride, Total lipid, Total protein) analysis from twenty fish of each
lake. The results of hematological parameters show that there is a difference
between investigated fishes of respective lakes. There are slight differences
in the values of Hgb, MCHC and WBC, while the changes are significant in RBC,
MCV and MCH. By contrast, the biochemical parameters have shown significant
differences, with the exception of the amount of cholesterol, where the
differences are insignificant. Given the water quality of the two lakes, the
results of this research show that water quality affects the health condition
of fish. The high values of hematological and biochemical parameters in the
fish of Radoniqi Lake are indicative that these fish suffer from stress caused
by water pollution with heavy metals.
