Chromium is kno wn to cause various health effects. The health hazards associated with exposure to chromium are dependent on its oxidation state. The hexavalent form is toxic than trivalent form. The hematological alterations produced on exposure to sub - lethal concentrati on (1/10 th of LC 50 /96 hrs) of chromium were investigated in fresh water fish, Labeo rohita for 7days and 30 days respectively. Results revealed statically significant decrease in RBC, Hb, PCV, MCH, and MCHC in all the experimental animals when compared to the control with an increase in exposure days. In contrast to this, the WBC and MCV values were significantly increased. The decrease in hematological parameters clearly indicates that the exposed fishes have become anemic due to heavy metal exposure.<#LINE#>Livingstone D.

Samples were collected from two different ponds viz., Sama pond and Danteshwar pond of Vadodara city. These morphometric data represent specific structure of the inhabitant f ish population of these ponds. The average of t otal l ength and t otal w eight and s tandard l ength and t otal w eight of fishes of both ponds indicates that the morphometric structure of Sama pond fishes were bigger than that of Danteshwar pond. Condition facto r K values were 1.58 and 1.67 and the exponential equation were Wt = 0.609 (TL) 0.329 and Wt = - 1.169 (TL) 2.430 of fishes of both ponds respectively indicating allometric growth. The condition factor of fishes of both ponds indicates that all fishes were in good condition. However, biomass of fishes of Danteshwar pond was more compared to Sama pond. Correlation between t otal l ength and t otal w eight as well as s tandard l ength and t otal w eight was 0.76, 0.77 and 0.83, 0.87 of fishes of both ponds respective ly, which revealed positive correlation between length and weight of the fishes.<#LINE#>Kovac V. and Copp G.H.@Morphometry of the stone loachBarbatula barbatula (L.).

Data from these groups were compared with those of two healthy groups, one of which was similarly treated with aqueous extract. The experiment was terminated 16 days p ost - infection (pi). Observations showed that the extract has an effect on the haemopoietic system manifested by a positive increase in the levels of haemoglobin, packed cell volume and red blood cell.

After construction of Sardar Sarovar Dam on ri ver Narmada a major part of the running water is being converted in to stagnant water. The fish fauna were studied during construction of dam on the river Narmada. The fish diversity is correlated with biological and various physico - chemical parameters th at regulate the productivity and distribution of different species of the fishes. The fish population is abundant and majority of fishes are exploited for human consumption. In present study, attempts have been made to collect, classify and identify fish of river Narmada in its Western Zone. The study operated on a stretch of the river approximately 15 km from Piplud to Jangerwa from September 2006 to August 2007. The survey indicated that 51 species of fish were found in this zone of the river. The major fish abundance was noticed viz. major carps, minor carps and cat fishes. The several species of fish belonging order Clupiformes, Cypriniformes, Beloniformes, Opiocephaliformes, Mastacambelliformes, Siluriformes and Perciformes. In which maximum 37 species belonging to the order Cypriniformes. Some species of fishes like Cirrihinus cirrihosa, Aspidoparia jaya, Colisa fasciatus, Labeo bata, Oreichthys cosuatis, Osteobrama cotio etc. showed a declining trend in this stretch. The fish species diversity was dec reasing. Diversity Index was lowest 0.53 in March and was highest 1 in October in the year 2006 - 2007. The main reasons behind the decline of species are habitat destruction, introduction of exotic species, pollution and over fishing. An urgent need exist s for studying the life history traits and demography of the most important threatened fishes, as lack of information on these aspects have significantly affected conservation efforts.<#LINE#>Hora S.
