Hematological and biochemical changes in Common carp (Cyprinus carpio) fed with corn gluten

This study was carried out to investigate the replacement of corn gluten meal in fish diets and the effects of it on blood biochemical and hematological parameters of common carp juvenile. Juvenile's carp with an average of 11.5 ± 0.5g and 9 ± 1cm weights and length respectively, were fed with experimental diets for 8 weeks. Diets with 31% crude protein and 3100 kcal kg-1 raw energy and alternative levels of 150, 270 and 490 (gr kg 1) and a control diet without corn gluten were made. At the end of the experiment, blood biochemical parameters including glucose, cholesterol, triglycerides, and also hemoglobin, hematocrit, white blood cells (WBC) and red blood cells (RBC) in juveniles fed the experimental diets showed a significant difference (P 0.05). Furthermore, with replacing the amounts of corn gluten in experimental diets, it was concluded that growth and nutritional factors in treatments compared with the control group decreased significantly (P
