Hematological values of 50 Siamese Tiger Fish, with an average body length of approximately 30 cm were: hematocrit, 24.4+-5.6 percent, RBC, 4.0+-0.9*10**(6) cell/micro l and WBC, 32.4+-10.3*10**(3). From a thin blood smear, the results of a differential cell count were: lymphocytes, 85.8+-4.6 percent, monocytes, 10.1+-4.2 percent and granulocytes, 4.1+-3.2 percent. Blood chemistry data for Aspatate aminotransferase (AST) averaged, 36.2+-10.78 U/L, Alanine aminotransferase (ALT), 10.28+-6.53 U/L, Glucose, 41.4+-18.25 mg/dl, Blood urea nitrogen (BUN), 10.36+-1.64 mg/dl, Total protein, 3.54+-0.53 g/dl, Albumin, 0.66+-0.73 g/dl and Globulin, 2.88+-0.79 g/dl. From the structure of white blood cells studied under a light microscope and an electron microscope 3 types of leukocytes were seen, monocytes, lymphocytes and granulocytes. Details of the findings are described.
