Özet

Rainbow trout, Oncorhynchus mykiss were exposed to a concentration of cobalt chloride (180 mu g/l of) at 8 hours intervals, for 28 days in order to determine the effects of this chemical compound on the hematological parameters of this fish. The blood samples were obtained from the all control and treatment fish at the end of the exposure period. Increases were observed in red blood cell (RBC), white blood cell (WBC), thrombocyte count, hemoglobin, erythrocyte-sedimentation rate (ESR) and mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration (MCHC). On the other hand, hematocrit, mean corpuscular volume (MCV) and mean corpuscular hemoglobin (MCH) values were decreased because of the cobalt chloride exposure. Statistical analyses showed that the differences in WBC, hemoglobin, MCV and MCH were very important (P<0.01), in MCHC was important (P<0.05) but the others were not important.
