AB  - Blood is an indicator of physiological condition of an animal. Therefore, a field 
      study was conducted to investigate the hematological parameters of wild 
      population of rohu, Labeo rohita (Ham). The following aspects were evaluated in 
      blood: hemoglobin content, red blood cell (RBC) and white blood cell (WBC) count, 
      packed cell volume (PCV), and mean corpuscular volume (MCV) and mean corpuscular 
      hemoglobin concentration (MCHC) values, and in plasma: cholesterol, protein, and 
      glucose levels. For this purpose, rohu fish of varying sizes and weights were 
      sampled from Hebbal (receiving a storm water drain) and Chowkalli lake (received 
      domestic sewage and industrial effluents from various sources and was more 
      polluted than Hebbal lake). It revealed noticeable differences in hemoglobin 
      content, RBC and WBC count, and PCV and MCHC values. Severe anemia can be marked 
      by a significant decrease in RBC count (p < 0.5), hemoglobin content, and PCV and 
      MCHC values, whereas an increase in leukocyte count and MCV values were observed 
      in fish from Chowkalli lake. Fish from lake B had fewer RBC and low concentration 
      of serum protein and cholesterol. Serum concentration of glucose showed initial 
      higher levels and then low concentration (900-1,500 g) in fish from lake B when 
      compared to lake A. The variation in values of different parameters can be 
      attributed to exposure of fish to various types of pollutants present mainly in 
      the Chowkalli lake which receives heavy metals, synthetic detergents, petroleum 
      products, and other acid and alkali substances from the nearby local industries. 
      Other observations of these fish include dark body color and aggressive nature of 
      fish.
