| Abstract | ||
| Goldfish (Carassius auratus) at average weight 32.48 + 3.12 g were exposed to gradual increasing salt concentrations:tap water 0.1(represents as a control),4,8 and 12gm/l.to study the percentage ratio of packed cells volume(PCV%) and the concentrations of sodium and potassium ions in blood plasma. Results showed that the PCV% was increased to 33% ,34% and 39% while the salt concentrations were increased to 4, 8 and 12 gm/l.respectively,in comparison with control(31%).Sodium in blood plasma was increased to134.11,144.42and 153.86 mM/l at gradual salinity increase to 4, 8 and 12g/ l respectively, in comparison with control(126.72 mM/l). Potassium concentrations also increased to 9.08,11.92 and 13.85 mM/l,while the salinity increase to 4,8 and 12g/l respectively,in comparison with control (6.88mM/l). The trial concluded that salt acclimatation was improved the salinity tolerance of gold fish. | ||
