Abstract
The influence of temperature, salinity, dissolved oxygen, and pH of water on nineteen blood characteristics grouped under erythrocyte parameters, erythrocyte indices, leucocyte parameters, and plasma constituents of juvenile milkfish, Chanos chanos, from three different brackishwater fish farms, was evaluated in terms of total (TC) and partial correlation coefficients. There were no significant differences between fish grown under different farm conditions with regard to most blood values. The TCs were significant in relationships of salinity of water with total plasma proteins (negative), plasma sodium (positive), and potassium (positive). Under normal haematological ranges the distributions of most of the blood characteristics were not Gaussian. Two nonparametric methods, namely tolerance interval and percentile estimation, were used to estimate the normal ranges.
