Abstract

In this study was evaluated the hematological response of ornamental Amazon plecos Cochliodon sp. (L145) and Hypostomus sp. (L28) submitted to transportation conditions. The erythrogram, leukogram, thrombogram, glucose and total plasma proteins (PPT) were determined at 0, 6, 24, 48 and 72 hours after 3-hours simulated transportation. For basal hematological profile, the blood was collected immediately to allow comparisons after the transport stress. Cochliodon sp. showed reduction in total erythrocyte after 6 and 24 hours of post-transport, and increase after 6 hours. Hypoglycemia were observed at 6 hours post-transport for Hypostomus sp. Thus, the Hypostomus sp. showed higher resistance compared to Cochliodon sp. when to the transport stress.
