Abstract:	The aim of the presented work was to evaluate an influence of toxic cyanobacterial water blooms on blood indices of silver carp (Hypophthalmichthys molitrix Val.). Silver carp, the body mass 278.8±76.0 g, were used in the experiment. The experimental fish were exposed to natural populations of cyanobacterial water blooms (Microcystis aeruginosa, M. ichthyoblabe and M. viridis), which contained three microcystins (total concentration 425.0 μg g⁻¹ of dry biomass in the beginning of the experiment, respective 182.4 μg g⁻¹ of dry biomass at the end of the experiment). Hematological indices showed evident changes in fish exposed to the cyanobacterial population in comparison with the control group. The results obtained from these experiments do not always correspond with the literature sources. These data pointed to some hematological indicators that fluctuated in large interval. Toxicity and density of cyanobacterial water blooms had important role at individual hematological indices as well.
