Abstract
Rainbow trout fry become immunocompetent with respect to the allograft response as early as 14 days post-hatch (at 140C). The ability to respond to foreign tissue grafts is correlated with the presence of a morphologically mature lymphoid population in the thymus and the kidney, and the presence of circulating lymphocytes.Keywords
