Abstract
In the present study was undertaken to evaluate the Sago effluent toxicity stress symptoms in the fish blood during a
long term period. The effect of sago effluent on various Haematological parameters were evaluated exposing the fresh
water fish Clarias batrachus to different concentration i.e., (Control, 25%, 50% and 75% Sago effluent concentrations
respectively. Changes were observed after 28 days of exposure, (sublethal concentration). Red Blood Cells count (RBC),
Haematocrit value (HCT), Mean Corpuscular Volume (MCV) and Mean Corpuscular Haemoglobin (MCH) content
decreased when compared to the control. The number of White Blood Cells count (WBC) increased in the effluent
treated fishes. Increase and decrease in haematological indices means that fish exposed to effluents were under stress.
