Biochemical and total hemocyte count profiles of long-clawed crayfish ( Astacus leptodactylus ) as a reference interval in southern Iran

This study was aimed to determine the normal interval of the biochemical parameters in these species in Iran, which appears to be necessary for future plannin g and studies, especially for ecotoxicological studies. Biochemical parameters analyzed in this study were glucose (11.37 ± 1.53 mg/dl), urea (5.58 ± 0.62 mg/dl), creatinine (0.21 ± 0.02 mg/dl), AST (7.54 ± 0.82 U/L), ALT (7.04 ± 0.97 U/L), ALP (380.44 ± 33.46 U/L), total bilirubin (0.45 ± 0. 32 mg/dl), calcium (8.39 ± 1.15 mg/dl), phosphorus (2.35 ± 0.24 mg/dl), total protein (1.72 ± 0.16 g/dl), albumin (4.30 ± 0.2 g/dl), iron (128.79 ± 12.54micg/dl), and magnesium (1.84 ± 0.32 mg/dl). The total number of hemocyte in samples was calculated to be mean 5.3 × 104 per milliliter (n = 30, range 3.9 × 103–1.59 × 105).
