Abstract

In July 1997, seventeen adult specimens of "dourado", Salminus maxillosus Valenciennes, 1840, were captured in the Mogi Guaçu River, Pirassununga, SP, and in April 1998, twenty specimens of adult carp, Cyprinus carpio Linnaeus, 1758, were captured in Pedreira Station, Fishery Institute, SP, aiming to determine the clotting time (CT) and the haematocrit (Ht) of those species. The averages of haematocrit for the two species were calculated. CT of "dourado" varied from 56 to 472 sec, and the average of haematocrit was 40.53 ± 1.7%. Carp's CT ranged from 43 to 530 sec, with haematocrit average of 30.55 ± 4.2%.
