Serum biochemical
parameters are important aspects in the management of endangered species. The
values of these parameters can be used for confirming the maturity and for
monitoring any changes in the quality of waters and related soils. The aim of
this research was to determine the reference values of biochemical factors in Acantopagrus
latus andEpinephelus
coioides. Blood samples were collected from captured fish from coastal waters
of Chabahar (Ramin waterfront). Serum levels of glucose, Blood Urea Nitrogen
(BUN), cholesterol (CHO), triglyceride, total protein, albumin, calcium (Ca2+),
phosphorus (P), sodium (Na+), bilirubin and potassium (K+)
were measured. The results showed that the levels of albumin and bilirubin in E.
coioides were significantly higher than A. latus and there were
significant differences in all of the serum values (except P and glucose) between A. latus and E. coioides (P < 0.05). It can be concluded that
the values of blood biochemical parameters may be affected by physiological factors
such as the species of fish.
