Haematocrit values, haemoglobin concentration, erythrocyte counts, leucocyte counts, erythrocyte sedimentation rate and clotting time of Labeo rohita were determined. The variations in haematological parameters in relation to the size and weight of the fish were also examined. Males had higher haematological values than the females. Seasonal and variations due to maturation of gonads were also apparent.
