Abstract/Summary

Flow cytometry was used to estimate the proportions of different blood cell types in brown and rainbow trout. On the basis of forward light scatter and 90° side scatter three populations were differentiated. The relative abundance of these cells correlated with that of erythrocytc (r2= 0.994), lymphocyte plus thrombocyte (r2= 0.676) and neutrophil populations (r2= 0.571) enumerated by direct microscopy. By density gradient separation of cells, cell sorting and acridine orange staining it was confirmed that these cell types could be assigned to the populations detected. Changes in blood cell populations were monitored by flow cytometry in a group of experimental fish placed under confinement stress. Flow cytometry proved to be a rapid and reliable method for monitoring cell population dynamics in fish blood.
