  The present study was aimed at the assessment of potential effect of selenium, supplemented in feed, on the hematological profile of tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) while maintaining certain physicochemical parameters of water. Three doses differing merely in selenium contents viz. 2, 4, and 8 mg Se/kg of fish feed were formulated bearing in mind apiece dose as an independent treatment. Four cemented rectangular tanks (triplicated) were used after proper disinfection to ensure sustainable culture environment. 15 fish per tank were stocked after appropriate health examination weights ranging 10-25 g. Variations in different hematological parameters by counting of white blood cells, red blood cells, hemoglobin estimation, granulocytes (neutrophils, eosinophils, and basophils), agranulocytes (lymphocytes and monocytes) as well as weight and length gains were recorded and analyze..
