Bioaccumulation of nickel and the effect of nickel on the iron level in the tissues and organs of wels catfish, Silurus glanis L. were studied in the course of the present work. A number of blood parameters were determined e.g. erythro cyte count (RBC), leukocyte count (WBC), haemoglobin con centration (Hb ), haematocrit value (Ht ), and erythrocyte indi ces (MCH, MCV, MCHC) were calculated. On stained blood smears erythrocytes and leukocytes were differentiated. Effect of nickel on the activity of alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) in the blood serum was stud ied.
