The present investigation was carried out to analyse the effect of water quality on haematological parameters in the hill trout Barilius bola (Ham.) using the standard methods. The study of fish blood parameters is important for determining factors related to their physiological capacity. Haematological and same biochemical contents of the blood in relation to physico-chemical characteristics of the water have been studied in the fresh fish. The results indicated that normal values have been found in comparison to the studies carried out in other fish. Hence the fish Barilius bola in having favorable environmental temperature, pH and dissolved oxygen required for the fish to survive and regulate breeding activities.
