Abstract

The use of diazinon to control pest infestations is very common in many agricultural fields adjacent to fresh water sources. Therefore, in this research, the effect of diazinon farming poison on blood parameters in common carp (Cyprinus carpio) was investigated. In this experiment, the fish were exposed to various concentrations of diazonone for 30 to 45 days. Then, the blood and blood parameters of blood and blood hematocrit were measured. In this study, as the amount of venom increased, white blood cell count decreased compared to the control sample. However, there were no apparent signs of red blood cell and hemoglobin levels. A statistically significant correlation was found between white blood cells and control samples (P<0.05). By increasing the dose of venom, white blood cells also decreased. In addition, the red blood cells and hemoglobin did not have significant difference with the control sample (P>0.05).
