Abstract

The investigation was carried out to study the sex wise normal red blood cells (RBCs) morphometry of Channa punctatus and Anabas testudineus. In fish hematology for clinical diagnosis and cytomorphological study the present study is required to compare the red blood cell morphometry. To compare the sizes of normal RBCs in two different species an attempt was made. By the study of cells of blood in many different species, fishes provide an interesting comparison of size of cell in relation to their activities and habits a trial was made to study morphometric data of blood cells in Channa punctatus and Anabas testudineus. In Channa punctatus and Anabas testudineus morphometrical features of RBCs provide a baseline data which will be helpful for further comparison with other species and also diagnostic interpretation of normocytic, microcytic and macrocytic anemias can be known for these species by which their physiological conditions can be known and they can be treated accordingly with their environment.
