Abstract

The ranges and mean values of haematocrit, leucocrit, red cell, white cell and differential cell counts and serum protein concentration of young growing Pseudoplatystoma corruscans (n=6) were measured, and serum electrophoretic patterns on cellulose acetate described. Blood was obtained by puncture of the caudal vessels. Using routine staining methods, five different cell types could be distinguished by light microscopy. Mean total cell count was 1.29 x 10⁶ cells.ml^-1, while mean plasma protein content was 11.82g.l^-1 consisting of five major protein fractions. These haematological characteristics were established as a “working document” upon which to base more extensive studies.
