Abstract :
The haematological profile of Indian white prawn (Fenneropenaeus indicus (H. Milne-Edwards, 1837), Penaeidae) at different salinities, i.e. 0, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30 and 35 ppt was studied after acclimating the animals for 7 days in each saline condition. The haematological parameters, i.e. total haemolymph protein (THP), plasma protein (PP), serum protein (SP), haemocyte protein (HP), phenoloxidase, intracellular anion (NBT reduction), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), acid phosphatase (ACP) and total free amino acids (TFAA) were analysed and the data were statistically evaluated. These haematological parametes except ACP were at elevated level at 5 and 10 ppt indicating the animal’s hyper immune response to the stressful ambient conditions. ACP was significantly low at 5 and 10 ppt.
