Blood parameter assessments of fish may be used as quick tools for diagnosing health status. The aim of this research was to undertake a comparative study of hematological and biochemical parameters of Italian and Turkish farmed rainbow trout Oncorhynchusmykiss(Walbaum, 1792) to establish baseline values in relation to different areas. Forty Italian trout (32.59 +/- 0.25 cm total length, 397.40 +/- 6.49 g weight) and forty Turkish trout (33.00 +/- 0.24 cm total length, 385.70 +/- 3.50 g weight) were examined.
