title: The effects of toxicants on the haematology of Labeo umbratus (Teleostei: Cyprinidae).
abstract: The haematology of Labeo umbratus (Smith) was investigated after exposure to four toxicants under controlled static conditions. Statistically significant changes exist between the values of parameters of experimental and control fish. The concentration of haemoglobin fractions changes with different toxicants. Electrophoretograms of plasma proteins showed changing patterns as well as a decrease in fraction numbers.
