Abstract

Alosa braschnikowi has the most abundant in the Southern Caspian and is considered as economic and valuable species. Hematological features of fish are one of the most valuable evidence of physiological stages in fish. For evaluating the effects of ages, sexes and reproductive stages on hematological, immunological and hormonal factors of Alosa braschnikowi, 37 specimens were randomly captured from the beach of Roudsar in February, March, April, May and November 2018. After fishing, blood samples were taken from fish and fish were compared based on sex, age groups (3, 4 and 5 years old) and reproductive stages (pre-spawning, during spawning and post-spawning) after measuring hematological, immunlogical and hormonal parameters. The result showed that there was no significant difference in hematological, immunological and hormonal factors between males and females (P>0.05) and only, eosinophils and testosterone had significant difference (p < 0.05). Comparison of different ages also showed that red blood cells, hemoglobin, hematocrit, cortisol and MCHC experienced significant difference (p < 0.05) and other factors didn’t have any difference (P>0.05). Also, in comparison with different reproductive stages, most factors had significant difference. Generally, hematological, immunological and hormonal factors of this fish were not affected by sex and were only partially influenced by age. However, reproductive stages often had a significant impact on these factors.
