Abstract
Experiments were carried out to determine the hematological changes in freshwater tilapia Oreochromis niloticus, after water temperature (20, 25 and $30^{\circ}C$) and arsenic concentrations (200, and 400 ppb) exposure 20 days. The RBC count and hematocrit (Ht) were significantly increased in As 400 ppb and water temperature $30^{\circ}C$. Hemoglobin (Hb) was significantly increased under combined As (200 and 400 ppb) and water temperature $30^{\circ}C$. The tilapia exposed to water temperature $30^{\circ}C$ and As concentration 400 ppb increase significantly in calcium concentration. The high concentrations of total protein and glucose concentrations were observed at water temperature $30^{\circ}C$ and As concentration 400 ppb. A significant increment GOT and GPT activities in the tilapia serum noticed at water temperature (25 and $30^{\circ}C$) and As concentration (200, 400 ppb). These results indicate that tilapia can be affected by high water temperature ($30^{\circ}C$) and As concentration (400 ppb) in terms of inorganic matter, organic matter and enzyme activity in serum.
