Haematological studies were carried out on the blood of Clarias gariepinus broodstock fed different diets. Fiveisonitrogenous diets, prepared from locally available feedstuffs were fed to 150 broodfish for 10 weeks intriplicate laboratory aquaria tanks at 10 fish per tank. Four of the diets contain different inclusion levels ofcopper sulphate tagged CSD1 (1.0mg CuSO4/g), CSD2 (2.5mg CuSO4/g), CSD3 (5.0mg CuSO4/g) and CSD4(7.5 mg CuSO4/g) while the control diet, CSD0 contained no copper sulphate. The haematological parametersmeasured; haematocrit (HCT), red blood cells, haemoglobin and glucose concentrations were significantlyhigher (p |
