e Hematological and Morphometric Characteristics of the Squalius Cephalus of the Catchment Area in Modrac Lake

Abstract

The research deals with the analysis of hematological and morphometric parameters of Squalius cephalus L. individuals from two rivers, Spreča and Turija (Bosnia and Herzegovina). The following hematological parameters were analyzed: the number of erythrocytes and leucocytes, hemoglobin concentration, hematocrit, and hematological indices. With regard to the morphometric parameters: the total and the standard length and body weight were determined. Concerning chub from the river Spreča an average number of erythrocytes is 1.16 x 1012, hematocrit 0.40 l/l, the content of hemoglobin 94.75 g/l, MCV 370.96 fl, MCH 86.97 pg, MCHC 241.0 g/l , the number of leukocytes 8.04 x 109, while in chub from the river Turija an average number of erythrocyte is 1.10 x 1012, hematocrit 0.33 l/l, the content of hemoglobin 79.10 g/l, MCV 241.22 fl, MCH 56, 80 pg, MCHC 236.70 g/l, the number of leukocytes 7.23 x 109. The individuals of the chub from the river Spreča has an average total length of the body 17.63 cm, the standard length of the body 14.80 cm and the weight of the body 51.90 g, while the chub from the river Turia has an average total length of the body 10.83 cm, the standard length of the body 9.05 cm, and the weight of 13.83 g. The populations of chub from the Spreče and Turija rivers show fairly uniform values of haematological parameters.

Istraživanje je obuhvatilo analizu hematoloških imorfometrijskih parametara jedinki klijena (Squalius cephalus L.) iz dvije rijeke, Spreče i Turije (Bosna i Hecegovina). Analizirani su sledeći hematološki parametri: broj eritrocita i leukocita, koncentracija hemoglobina, hematokrit i hematološki indeksi. Od morfometrijskih parametara određena je totalna i standardna dužina, te masa tijela. Prosječan broj eritrocita klijen iz rijeke Spreče iznosi 1,16x1012, hematokrit 0,40 l/l, hemoglobin 94,75 g/l, MCV 370,96 fl, MCH 86,97 pg, MCHC 241,0 g/l, broj leukocita 8,04 x 109. Kod klijena iz rijeke Turije prosječan broj eritrocita iznosi 1,10 x 1012, hematokrit 0,33 l/l, hemoglobin 79,10 g/l, MCV 241,22 fl, MCH 56,80 pg, MCHC 236,70 g/l, broj leukocita 7,23 x 109. Jedinke klijena iz rijeke Spreče imaju prosječnu totalnu dužinu 17,63 cm, standardnu dužinu 14,80 cm, masu 51,90 g. Klijen iz rijeke Turije ima prosječnu totalnu dužinu 10,83 cm, standardnu dužinu 9,05 cm, masu 13,83 g.. Populacije klijena iz rijeke Spreče i Turije pokazuju ujednačne vrijednosti hematoloških parametara.
