Investigation of some haematological and immunological parameters in pollen injected carp (Cyprinus carpio)

In this study, effects of pollen on haematological and immunological parameters in carp (Cyprinus carpio) were investigated. 1 mg / kg fish and 10 mg / kg fish of pollen were injected intraperitoneally into the fish. Blood samples were taken from the fish on 3rd, 7th and 10th days after injection. Hematological [erythrocyte count, haemoglobin and haematocrit levels] and immunological [leucocyte count, oxidative radical production (nitroblue tetrazolium-NBT activity), total plasma protein and total immunoglobulin levels] parameters were analysed in blood samples. When compared to the control group, statistically significant increase in the haematological and immunological parameters of the pollen treated groups were detected on the 3rd, 7th and 10th days of the experiment (p < 0,05). When pollen groups are compared with each other, the haematological and immunological parameters were found to be different on the 3rd, 7th and 10th days of the experiment.
