All fish appeared more stressed with higher densities and increasingmedia salt employed in transportation. There was a significant difference between meanhaematocrit values of control (before transportation) and those of low, medium and highdensities (p < 0.05). Transportation under different saline concentrations showed significantdifference between means haematocrit value of control and varying media saline levels (p
