Özet

Fish, Tinca tinca were exposed to chronic low levels of zinc (2 mg/L, 10%of 96h LC50) for 3, 10 and 20 days respectively and its hematological parameters werestudied. It was found that Clotting time (CT), Thrombocyte count (TC), Red blood cell(RBC) counts, Hematocrit (Hct), Hemoglobin (Hb), Sedimentation rate (SR), Whiteblood cell (WBC) count and Leucocrit (Lct) did not show a significant difference in fish with 3 and 10 days chronic exposures. However, a significant increase in Clotting time,Sedimentation rate and White blood cell (WBC) count and significant decrease inThrombocyte count and Hemoglobin were observed in fish with 20 days days exposure (P<0.05).
