dc.description.abstractThe aim of the present investigation was to determine the effect of the consumption of heavy metal contaminated fish (Orechromis niloticus) by rats on heamatological parameters. The experimental group of rats were exposed to a fish diet of Orechromis niloticus collected from polluted riverine sources. The result showed a significant decrease in the haemoglobin content from 12.60 g/dl to 4.20 g/dl, red blood cells (RBC) from 7.39 to 2.47 x 105/mm3 and packed cell volume (PCV) from 29% to 24% and 27%. Whereas the white blood cells (WBC) increased significantly from 69.00 to 72.00 and 77.00x102/mm3, mean corpuscular volume increased from 55.40 to 56.00 and 58.00cµ. The mean corpuscular haemoglobin (MCH) values showed significant increase during the exposure to fish diet. The different leucocytes count (DLC) showed a significant increase in the populations of lymphocytes whereas neutrophils, monocytes, basophil and eosinophils were found decreased after exposure to the fish diet.en_US
