dc.description.abstract | This study aims to determine the relationship between hemocyte count and hemocyte types with environmental variables and morphometric measurements in Carcinus aestuarii. A total of 240 crabs were seasonally collected in Çardak Lagoon June 2018, October 2018, February 2019, and May 2019. The average carapace length (CL) was 44.66±0.44 mm, the mean carapace width (CW) was 37.71±0.38 mm and the mean weight was 28.49±0.88 g. Crab specimens were anesthetized on ice for 10 min, and 500 µL of hemolymph was collected from the legs of each crab using a 1-mL plastic syringe. After sampling, hemolymph samples were mixed with the anticoagulant, which was applied to a Thoma slide and examined under a microscope at X40 magnification. The total hemocyte count (THC) was calculated as 13.91±8.08x106 (cells/mm3). Differential hemocyte count (DHC) 53.25±0.6% for hyalinocyte, 26.15±0.23% for semi-granulocyte, and 20.6±0.06% for granulocyte and 3 different cell types were observed. The most dominant cell type is hyalinocyte cells. | |
