Abstract
Mystus singaringan is one of valuable freshwater sh commodity which is endangered and declining population due to incessant exploitation. Domestication is necessary, however they may lead to the change of habitat which may induced stress in sh. This study was carried out to compare hematologicalresponseof M singaringan in their natural habitat and in captivity. The neutrophil and lymphocyte counts of M singaringan in the natural habitat and those in captivity over a period of 14 days did not differ signi cantly (P<0.05), however the monocyte counts was signi cantly different. Fluctuations in the neutrophil, lymphocyte and monocyte counts indicates the response M singaringan as form of adaptation pattern when reared in captivity
