In the present work an attempt has been made to study the total plasma volume (TPV), corpuscular volume (TCV) and total blood weight (TBV) in relation to body weight in a fresh water teleostean fish Mystus cavasius (Ham.). Dye dilution technique using Evans Blue (T-1124) and haematocrit method were employed to determine the relative volume of plasma and red blood cells in the blood. TPV, TCV and TBW per gram body weight decreases from lower to higher weight groups but becomes almost constant at 45.1g animals. The details have been discussed in this paper
