A light and electron microscopic study of channel catfish ( Ictalurus punctatus ) white blood cells was carried out. The white blood cells of channel catfish consist of lymphocytes, neutrophils, thrombocytes and monocytes. A fifth cell type is illustrated and described which could not be characterized. These leukocytes are characterized and compared with their mammalian counterparts.
