Abstract
Analyses of blood samples in ichthyology are of importance for assessment of fish health as well as fish responses to environmental stressors. The measurement results may be affected by multiple factors. This study aimed at assessment of the influence of the blood collection site by comparing dual values of indices measured in samples obtained both from the heart and puncturing caudal vessels in the same fish specimens. Our results revealed that the sampling site did not significantly influence measured variables including haematological indices, the plasma biochemistry profile, acid-base balance parameters and the phagocytic activity. To conclude, for the rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) both sampling methods are interchangeable with regard to the above-mentioned indices.
期刊介绍:
ACTA VETERINARIA BRNO is a scientific journal of the University of Veterinary and Pharmaceutical Sciences in Brno, Czech Republic.
The scientific journal Acta Veterinaria Brno is dedicated to the publication of original research findings and clinical observations in veterinary and biomedical sciences. Original scientific research articles reporting new and substantial contribution to veterinary science and original methods that have not been submitted for publication elsewhere are considered for publication. A written statement to this effect should accompany the manuscript, along with approval for publication by the author´s head of department. The authors bear full responsibility for the contents of their contribution. Book reviews are published, too.
