Abstract

Ontogeny of the lymphoid organs thymus, spleen and kidney were studied in the Indian major carp

Catla catla

during the

early development stages i.e., from day one post-hatch to three months of age. Routine histological methods were adopted to

study the development of these organs. Thymus appeared as thymic analogue and kidney appeared as an undifferentiated

mass of stem cells on first day of post-hatch whereas spleen appeared on the fifth day of post-hatch.
