Abstract

The effect of environmental temperature changes on hematological and biochemical parameters of Huso huso juveniles was studied. Six-month-old juveniles with mean body weight of 69.2 ± 4.1 g were subjected to different temperatures (9–14°C, 15–20°C, and 21–26°C, respectively). The hematological parameters, ion Ca2+, glucose, and the cortisol concentrations were assessed after a period of 21 days rearing at these temperatures. The results show that hematocrit, Ca2+, and eosinophil were affected by different temperatures. Increasing temperature led to a significant increase (P 0.05). The rest of the parameters showed no significant effect with increase in environmental temperature (P > 0.05). These data show significant effect of temperature on the blood parameters of great sturgeon.
