No observable differences were noted in electron microscopic studies between brown trout, Salmo trutta L., and carp, Cyprinus carpio L., lymphocytes and thrombocytes separated by the Ficoll‐Paque technique. Transmission electron microscopy showed a similar ultra‐structure of fish lymphocytes to those of other reported species. Scanning electron microscopy showed that these lymphocytes studied all had a villus structure and the thrombocytes clearly showed their spindle‐shaped structure.
