Abstract
Heavy metals are extremely toxic and ubiquitous in natural environments and they occur in soil, surface water and plants, which readily mobilized by human activities such as mining and dumping of industrial waste in natural habitats such as forests, rivers, lakes and ocean Haematological parameters have been recognized as valuable tools for monitoring fish health. Haematological parameters were studied and compared different feeding behavior of teleost fishes. Cyprinus carpio were carried out in order to find out a normal range of blood parameters which would serve as baseline data for assessment of the health status of the fish as well as reference point for future comparative surveys. Blood parameters such as red blood cell count (RBC) and white blood cells count (WBC), haemoglobin, mean cell hemoglobin concentration (MCHC), mean cell volume (MCV), mean cell haemoglobin, glucose, protein, cholesterol and urea were estimated from teleost fishes of different trophic level. Statistical analysis revealed that differences in haematological parameters between marine fish were significant. The result revealed that haematological RBC/WBC ratio; MCV and MCHC were significantly correlated with the impact of Lead acetate and ameliorative properties of Solanum virginianum on the freshwater fish C. carpio.
