An experiment of 100 days duration was conducted to test the effect of Microcystis aeruginosa in Labeo rohita against Aeromonas hydrophila. The rohu fingerlings (22 ± 2 g) were fed with the experimental diets incorporated with different concentrations of M. aeruginosa @ 0 g kg-1, 0.5 g kg-1, 1 g kg-1 and 5 g kg-1. Replicate groups of fish were fed for three month daily @4% body weight. At an interval of 30 days blood and serum samples were assayed for different haematological [total erythrocyte count (TEC), total leucocyte count (TLC), haemoglobin] and biochemical [blood glucose, serum aspartate aminotransferase (AST), serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and alkaline phosphatase (ALP)] parameters. Significantly (p ≤ 0.05) increased haemoglobin content and TLC was observed in Microcystis treated group. It was observed that the serum AST activity was significantly (p ≤ 0.0.. View More»
