Differential cell counts in 5 commercial ornamental fishes

The aim of this study was to determine the percentage of differential types of leukocytes in commercial ornamental fish (Green Tiger Barb - Puntigrus tetrazona, Rosy Tetra - Hyphessobrycon rosaceus, Rosy Barb - Pethia conchonius, Red Eye Tetra - Moenkhausia sanctaefilomenae and Red Zebra Danio - Dan...
