Magnetized water effects with different intensities of static magnetic field on protein and blood cells level in Sterlet ( Acipenser ruthenus)

In the present study, the effects of magnetized water on total protein, albumin, red blood cells (RBC), white blood cells (WBC), hemoglobin and hematocrit level in sterlet (Acipenser ruthenus) were examined. Fish (40 individuals, 100.46±4.51g, 31.73±0.80cm) were exposed to magnetized water with different intensities (5, 15, 25 mT), with a control group. Each treatment consisted of two repeats and each repeat contained 5 individuals. A sampling of exposed and control fishes were done at 30 and 60 days. Based on the results, there were not any significant differences between the control group and treated fishes with different intensities in red and white blood cells, hematocrit, and hemoglobin after 30 and 60 days (P>0.05). Also, there were not any significant differences between the control group and treated fishes with different intensities in total protein and albumin levels after 30 and 60 days (P>0.05). This study is the first research about the effects of magnetized water on Acipenser ruthenus in a relatively long period that could be future studies basis.
