Snow trout Schizothorax labiatus constitute a significant part of the diet of large human population of colder regions of the Indian Himalayan subcontinent, and are also important for local livelihoods there. In the present study, the hematological and serum biochemical parameters of S. labiatus were examined with respect to sex and season. Hemoglobin (Hb) concentration, red blood cell (RBC) count and hematocrit (Hct) were higher in males than females in each season, while white blood cell (WBC) count were notably higher in females. A significant difference (P 0.05) between erythrocyte indices with respect to sex and season. Serum biochemical parameters (glucose, cholesterol and urea) differed significantly (P 0.05) were observed in biochemical parameters (total protein, albumin and globulin) with respect to sex, although the highest values of all serum biochemical parameters were reported during the summer and the lowest values during the winter. The data reported here on the influence of sex and season on hematological and biochemical parameters of S. labiatus inhabiting the Sindh River could provide a reliable basis for the future monitoring of the health status of this fish.

性别和季节对印度喜马拉雅地区雪鳟裂腹鱼血液学和生化指标的影响

雪鳟 Schizothorax labiatus 是印度喜马拉雅次大陆较冷地区大量人口饮食的重要组成部分，对当地的生计也很重要。在本研究中，S. labiatus 的血液学和血清生化参数在性别和季节方面进行了检查。每个季节男性的血红蛋白 (Hb) 浓度、红细胞 (RBC) 计数和血细胞比容 (Hct) 均高于女性，而女性的白细胞 (WBC) 计数明显更高。红细胞指数在性别和季节方面存在显着差异（P < 0.05）。在生化参数（总蛋白、白蛋白和球蛋白）中观察到的血清生化参数（葡萄糖、胆固醇和尿素）在性别方面存在显着差异（P<0.05），尽管所有血清生化参数的最高值出现在夏季，而最低值则出现在冬季。这里报告的关于性别和季节对栖息在信德河的 S. labiatus 血液学和生化参数的影响的数据可以为未来监测这种鱼的健康状况提供可靠的基础。
