Using spleen and head kidney imprints, studies on erythropoiesis in Channa punctalus have been made describing each developmental stage with regard to its morphology, morpho‐metry and cytochemistry. This has been undertaken using the new techniques available for haematopoietic studies of fishes. These include autoradiography for information on DNA synthesis and Graham‐Knoll's benzidine method with Giemsa used as a counterstain for the differential staining of haemoglobin. Thus, a more definitive picture of the haematopoietic phenomenon in Channa punctatus has been evolved.
