Abstract
THOUGH there have been reports by different workers1,2,3 about the concentration of hæmoglobin in different species of fish, no information seems to be available in the literature about hæmoglobin patterns of fish. This communication deals with the findings on the blood samples of 10 different species of freshwater fish: Catla catla, Labeo rohito, Cirrhina mrigala, Labeo calbasu, and Labeo bata (family Cyprinidæ), Ophicephalus punctatus Bloch and Ophicephalus striatus Bloch (family Ophicephalidæ), Heteropneustes fossilis (Bloch) (family Heteropneustidæ), Clarias batrachus (Linn) (family Claridæ) and Tilapia mosambica (family Cichlidæ). After this note had been prepared, a report4 on the occurrence of multiple hæmoglobins in some species of fish has appeared.
