Abstract

Experiments on exposure of walking catfish (Clarias batrachus Linn.) to 5 and 10g./liter of sodium chloride solution after period of a 3 days had shown that hematological parameters (hematocrit, red blood cell number, white blood cell number, MCV, MCH and MCHC) were not significantly different as compared to the control. However hemoglobin value is significantly different. Plasma electrolytes of Na+, Cl- and Ca+2 were significantly increased but change of K+ was not significantly different from the control.
