AB  - The effects of sub-lethal concentractions, 2.51, 5.02 and 10.04 mg L<SUP>-1</SUP> of monocrotophos on some haematological indices of <I>Clarias gariepinus</I> were investigated in the laboratory. The packed cells volume and TEC were significantly reduced (p&gt;0.05) in fish exposed to the toxicant concentrations than in the control groups. However, the TLC, neutrophils and Lymphocytes were observed to be significantly higher (p&lt;0.05) in the exposed fish compared to the control groups. The study shows that sublethal concentration of monocrotophos is harmful to <I>Clarias gariepinus,</I> therefore, the usage close to water bodies for fish production is dangerous.
