Some blood constituents of carp fish [cyprinus carpio] under farming conditions

The normal ranges for some organic components were estimated from 600 clinical tests on 100 blood samples of carp fish [Cyprinus carpio]. Estimated normal ranges were glucose, 77.90 +/- 4.10 mg/dl in males and 72.10 +/- 3.70 mg/dl in females. Total serum protein was 3.36 +/- 0.07 g/dl in males and 3.11 +/- 0.07 g/dl in females. The total serum lipids were 521.30 +/- 22.69 mg/dl in males and 534.72 +/- 21.45 mg/dl in females. Serum cholesterol value was 261.58 +/- 7.52 mg/dl in males and 275.56 +/- 8.31 mg/dl in females. Serum bilirubin values was 1.42 +/- 0.05 mg/dl in males and 1.32 +/- 0.05 mg/dl in females. Serum creatinine level was 0.62 +/- 0.04 mg/dl in males and 0.57 +/- 0.03 mg/dl in females. There is no sex difference in all estimated samples except for total serum proteins
