Abstract

Heamtological changes in a freshwater teleost, Cyprinus carpio Var
communis, exposed to acute and sublethal toxicity of copper sulphate were
studied. During the acute treatment, erythrocyte and leucocyte count, and
haemoglobin content increased, whereas during the sublethal treatment,
erythrocyte count and haemoglobin content decreased, and leucocyte count
increased.
Keywords : Copper sulphate, erythrocyte, leucocyte, haemoglobin
