Volume : III, Issue : II, March - 2013 HAEMOCYTES CLASSIFICATION AND DIFFERENTIAL COUNTS IN THE FRESHWATER CRAB, PARATELPHUSA HYDRODROMOUSARULPRAKASH, G. GUNASEKARAN, M. PRAKASH, K. LOGANATHAN AND S. BALASUBRAMANIAN, P. SENTHILRAJA Published By : Laxmi Book Publication Abstract : The morphological study of haemocytes from the freshwater crab Paratelphusa
hydrodromous was carried out by light microscopy. Total haemocytes count and
differential count of crab haemocytes were made. Total count of haemocytes was noted
as 140+3.288 cells/mm3. Three types of haemocytes were identified in fresh water crab
Paratelphusa hydrodromous: hyalinocytes, semigranulocytes and granulocytes. The
proportion of hyalinocytes was found to be 35%, whereas semigranulocytes were found
as 62% and granulocytes 43%. Keywords : Article : Cite This Article : ARULPRAKASH, G. GUNASEKARAN, M. PRAKASH, K. LOGANATHAN AND S. BALASUBRAMANIAN, P. SENTHILRAJA, (2013).
