Some metabolic hydrolases and blood chemistry values in plasma of Nile catfish Clarias lazera

ABSTRACT

In the present study some metabolic hydrolases and plasma chemistry values were studied in clarias lazera, the obtained results showed that 1] plasma lipase level in male clarias lazera fish [2396.51 +/- 50.62 U/L] was significantly higher than that in female fish [1835.70 +/- 35.44 U1] at P<0.01. 2] Plasma amylase level in male fish [110.30 +/- 8.50 U/d] was significantly higher than that in female fish [76.70 +/- 4.82 U/dl] at P<0.01. 3] Plasma total protein level in male fish [5.50 +/- 0.35 gm%] was significantly higher than that in female fish [3.12 +/- 0.42gm%] at P<0.01. 4] Plasma glucose level in male fish [109.76 +/- 4.8 mg%] was significantly higher than that in female fish [88.43 +/- 3.93 mg%] at P<0.01. 5] Plasma total calcium level in male fish [7.85 +/- 0.31 mg%] was significantly elevated than that in female fish [5.87 +/- 0.50 mg%] at P<0.01. 6] Plasma inorganic phosphorus level in male fish [5.82 +/- 0.73 mg%] was significantly higher than that in female fish [3.77 +/- 0.52 mg%] at P<0.05. 7] No significant difference in plasma potassium level in both sexes of Clarias lazera fish
