Preliminary observations on the blood plasma composition of Sobaity Sea Bream ( Sparidentex hasta ) during spawning season from Persian Gulf

This study is the first to characterize and provide a comparative physiological account of wild population female Sobaity sea bream in spawning season. Interestingly in Sparidentex hasta
average of Na+, Cl-, Ca+2 and K+ were highest to lowest concentrations. Otherwise level was higher than globulin and albumin. K+ concentration correlated negatively with Na+/k+ (P<0.01) and Ca+2 correlated positively with Na+ K+ (P<0.01). We established serum parameters values for the S. hasta , which can be used as interpretative data obtained from this species in Persian Gulf. Therefore, values reported here will be useful for the early detection, identification and monitoring of diseases and sub lethal conditions in this species
