COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF SOME IMMUNOPHYSIOLOGICAL PARAMETERS OF THE PIKE <i>ESOX LUCIUS </i>(L.) AND PIKE-PERCH <i>STIZOSTEDION LUCIOPERCA </i>(L.) BLOOD
The data on a number of immunophysiological indicators of pike and pike-perch from the Rybinsk Reservoir are presented. Morphophysiological and some biochemical characteristics of the blood were significantly higher in the pike-perch, than in the pike. The analysis of the results suggests that the physiological parameters are more conditioned by the taxonomic position of fish, while the indicators of innate immunity – both cellular and humoral links – are more dependent on physiological state and conditions of fish habitats.
