Abstract

The present investigation has been designed to study the effect of Rhizopus stolonifer fungus causes on the behavior and haematological parameters of infected Clarias batrachus. After 60 days of infestation, infected fish show bulging eyes, loss of color, ulcers and cysts in internal organs, and abnormal circular movements i.e. loses of orientation. haematological parameters were measured for healthy and fungal infected Clarias batrachus. Haematological parameters such as WBC, neutrophile, and eosinophile were increased significantly (P < 0.05) in Rhizopus stolonifer infected fishes than healthy ones. The other haematological parameters like RBC, hemoglobin (Hb), hematocrit (HCT), lymphocyte, and monocyte were decreased in healthy fishes.
