I. Z. Drogomyretska, M. A. Mazepa

All main type of cells, that participate in immune response of higher vertebrates, founded in peripheral blood preparations of Ñyprinus ñarpio. Seasonal and age-related characteristics blood leucocytes of fish were investigated. In peripheral blood of fishes, except for mature leucocytes present also young forms of cells which differ morphological descriptions. Neutrophiles prevailed among granulocytes of fish blood in all times. Most of value was achieved by the percentage of lymphocytes in the hemogram in one- and two years old fishes during the year. Research of indexes of immunity of fishes serves for the foresight of ecological changes of biogeocenoses. Thus the state of peripheral blood of fishes presents extraordinarily informing material.
