Observation on Haematological and Enzymatic Changes on Spontaneous Papillomatous Condition of Anabas testudineus (Bloch)

Abstract

Haematological and enzymatic studies were made on the spontaneous cases of skin papilloma of climbing perch (Anabas testudineus). It was revealed that blood parameters and enzymatic levels showed hyperactive immune system in papilloma-affected fish as compared to the control group. Marked elevation of serum enzymatic pattern i.e. alkaline phosphatase (ALP), acid phosphatase (ACP), glutamate pyruvate transaminase (GPT) and glutamate oxaloacetate transaminase (GOT) in spontaneous cases of tumour as compared to control.
