Abstract
Utilizing a dye dilution technique (Evan's Blue, T-1824); the blood and plasma volumes of fresh water and salt water acclimated eels (Anguilla rostrata) were determined. Fresh water eels exhibited a mean blood volume of 6.67±2.12ml/l00gm body weight and a plasma volume of 5.0l±2.01ml/l00gm body weight, while marine eels exhibited values of 6.25±2.13ml/l00gm body weight and 4.34±L.30ml/l00gm body weight for the same parameters. No significant difference was found between the blood and plasma volumes of the two groups. The values presented are in agreement with recent literature blood volume determinations for teleost fish.
