Description
The head kidney of Sparus auratus (teleost) is comprised of erythropoietic, granulopoietic and lymphopoietic cells. This study describes the ultrastructure of the granulopoietic series of cells.<br>Heterophils, eosinophils and basophils were found at various stages of development. The most numerous cells are the neutrophils, the cells of the basophilic series being very scarce.<br>The most outstanding characteristics of the neutrophil series are the eccentric and slightly segmented nucleus and cytoplasm with numerous, homogeneously dense granules. The eosinophils show a lobed nucleus and two types of granules in the cytoplasm. In the basophils, the cytoplasmic granules are large with fibrillar contents.
