Abstract

The haematopoietic tissues of three species of Characoidei (Brycon sp,Colossoma mitrei and Schizodon borelli) were histologically localized and studied. These fishes presented blood forming tissues in head kidney (pronephron), interstitium of kidney (mesonephron), spleen and under the epithelium of pharyngeal floor, beneath the gill arches. The chief histological features of each haematopoietic organ were described.
