ABSTRACT: Studies made on two minor carps, L. boga and L. bata of varying length groups depicted that certain haematological parameters viz., Total erythrocyte count (TEC), Total leucocyte count (TLC), Haemoglobin (Hb), Haematocrit (Hct) and Mean corpuscular haemoglobin concentration (MCHC) rise with their increasing age and size while Mean corpuscular haemoglobin (MCH) and Mean corpuscular volume (MCV) values declined in higher age and size groups. In the differential leucocyte count (DLC), agranulocytes (monocytes and lymphocytes) and granulocytes viz., neutrophils, eosinophils and basophils increased with increasing age and size of both the fish species.
