Abstract

Effects of Diazinon poisoning on some of hematological factors of white fish were studied in Sefid rood Fisheries research station in the summer of 1390. One hundred twenty fish were designed in 3 treatments and 4 replicates. Based on literature LC50 of the toxin, 25, 50 and 75 percent of the lethal concentration of Diazinon 60% were considered for this experiment. Blood factors such as hematocrit, hemoglobin, monocytes, and MCHC in fish exposed to the poison showed significant differences compared to controls (P<0.05). These changes could be indicating of spleen and liver malfunction that lead to anemia. The amount of neutrophil in experimental groups was higher than the control group (P <0.05). No significant difference in terms of MCV, MCH, lymphocytes, and eosinophils was observed (p>0.05).
