industrial discharging region of Ceyhan River and under the crest of the
Aslantaş Dam on the same river. In this study, the state of water quality and
their effects on some hematological parameters of African Catfish ( <i>Clarias
gariepinus </i>)
was identified. Reserach, in the area under the crest of the Aslantaş
Dam (station I) located on the Ceyhan River and discharging region on the same
river (station II). water temperature, chemical oxygen demand (COD), pH,
nitrate (NO <sub>3 </sub>-N),
nitrite (NO <sub>2 </sub>-N),
ammonia (NH <sub>3 </sub>-N) and
soluble reactive phosphorus (SRP) values were determined in these two stations.
The study was realised on 45 fish from each station during the summer seasons
(June, July, August). The hematological parameters included erythrocyte (RBC)
and RBC indices (MCV: mean corpuscular volume, MCH: mean corpuscular
hemoglobin, MCHC: mean corpuscular hemoglobin consentration), leukocyte (WBC),
haemoglobine (Hb), hematocrit (Hct) values and leukocyte cell formulas
(lymphocyte, monocyte, neutrophil, eosinophil), serum glucose and protein
levels were evaluated. The physico-chemical parameters observed that the water
at station II had higher COD, NH <sub>3 </sub>-N,
NO <sub>2 </sub>-N, pH and SRP
than at station I. In this study, WBC values and leukocyte cell formulas of <i>C. gariepinus </i>were found increasing by
means of environmental stressors and also, RBC, RBC indices, Hb and Hct values
were determined decreasing in <i>C.
gariepinus </i>collected from station II ( <i>p </i><0.05).
On the other hand, serum glucose levels were increased and protein levels were
decreased in station II. The study was found to be important in the
biomonitoring of pollution of aquatic ecosystems, in terms of rational use of
hematological parameters. </span> <span lang="en-us" style="font-size:8pt;font-family:’Arial Narrow’, sans-serif;" xml:lang="en-us"> </span> </p> <p> </p> </div> <p> </p> <p> </p>}, number={4}
