Abstract

THOUGH there have been reports by different workers1,2,3 about the concentration of haemoglobin in different species of fish, no information seems to be available in the literature about haemoglobin patterns of fish. This communication deals with the findings on the blood samples of 10 different species of freshwater fish: Catla catla, Labeo rohito, Cirrhina mrigala, Labeo calbasu, and Labeo bata (family Cyprinidae), Ophicephalus punctatus Bloch and Ophicephalus striatus Bloch (family Ophicephalidae), Heteropneustes fossilis (Bloch) (family Heteropneustidae), Clarias batrachus (Linn) (family Claridae) and Tilapia mosambica (family Cichlidae). After this note had been prepared, a report4 on the occurrence of multiple haemoglobins in some species of fish has appeared.
