摘要：Hematological profiles have been extensively used as a biomarker of fish, but such information isstill limited for juvenile fish in mangrove forests of Thailand. The current study aimed to investigatethe morphological characteristics of blood cells in five ecologically important estuarine fish speciesfrom the Estuary Pranburi River (EPR), Thailand: Ambassis kopsii, Chanos chanos, Chelon subviridis,Dermogenys pusilla, and Leiognathus decorus. We determined erythrocyte size of these species,demonstrating that C. subviridis and D. pusilla have eclipse erythrocytes. Three kinds of leukocyteincluding lymphocyte, monocyte, and neutrophil were also identified in this study. Lymphocyteswere found in all species whilst monocytes and neutrophils were identified only in C. chanos, C.subviridi, and D. pusilla. Our hematological analysis has added new information to the literatureand will help future hematology-based health monitoring of fish in Thailand and other countries.
