The closed set of general-relativistic hydrodynamical equations describing a strongly magnetized collisionless plasma with an anisotropic pressure tensor is derived. Consideration is based on the 3+1'' formulation of magnetohydrodynamics and the orthonormal tetrad technique. The model is the further generalization of the theory of Chew, Goldberger, and Low (Proc. R. Soc. London Ser. A 236, 1204 (1954)) for the general-relativistic case. In ultrarelativistic limit the equations of state are obtained, which differ noticeably from those known previously.
