摘要:Effects of exposure of common carp ( Cyprinus carpio L .) to dietary copper and its recovery rate were investigated with the aim of determining the haematological and histological impact. In this study, fish were fed elevated copper diets (1000mgCukg -1 and 2000 mgCukg -1 as diet 2 and diet 3 respectively,) and control diet (5mgCukg -1 , diet 1) for 42days and were then fed the control diet for a further 21days.To make dietary preparations of the copper concentrations,1.1722g and 2.3503g of CuSO 4 .5H 2 O(AnalaR grade), dissolved in 35ml deionised water, were mixed with each of 300g of the commercially available pellet diet, which contained 5mgCu/kg of feeds, to make 1000mgCu/kg and 2000mgCu/kg of feed , respectively. Fish fed diet 2 (1000 mgCukg -1 ) showed significant increase (p -1 ) is subjected. Fish fed diet 3 (2000 mgCukg -1 ) showed significant reduction in haematocrit, red blood cell, white blood cell and increased lymphocyte (p J. Appl. Sci. Environ. Manage .
