AB  - This study describes the hematological parameters in Iranocichla hormuzensis, an 
      Iranian freshwater cichlid important as ornamental and food fish. Forty fish were 
      captured with seine net at Mehran river Hormozgan province, Iran. Blood was used 
      to determine the total counts of red blood cells (RBC) and white blood cells 
      (WBC), hematocrit, mean corpuscular volume (MCV), mean corpuscular hemoglobin 
      (MCH), mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration (MCHC) and morphometric data of 
      erythrocytes. The Iranian fish showed lower RBC and WBC values than the other 
      cichlids (Oreochromis niloticus, O. aureus, O. mossambicus, O. hybrid, Cichlasoma 
      dimerus and Cichla monoculus). Hematocrit did not vary among the species, but 
      MCV, MCH and MCHC in I. hormuzensis were higher than those for O. niloticus, O. 
      aureus, O. hybrid, C. dimerus and C. monoculus. These differences may be related 
      to different life habit of fish. This study suggests that I. hormuzensis is well 
      acclimated to the environment being the first report for its hematology. It is 
      also suggested high efficiency in oxygen transportation, and an efficient inflow 
      of oxygen by the gills, indicating the welfare of fish on this environment.
