| Abstract: | Some of the blood constituents of male, female and immature rainbow trout of the Shasta variety, maintained in known environmental and dietetic conditions, were examined and the results statistically treated. The parameters for male and female trout were similar, only the erythrocyte count exhibiting a significant difference. Large but expected differences were evident between the parameters for mature and immature fish. |
