Thymic development in two species of marine teleost; An Antarctic silverfish, Pleuragramma antarcticum Boulenger, and a warmer-water sea bass, Dicentrarchus labrax (LINNAEUS)
The paired thymic organs of post-larval, juvenile and adult specimens of the Antarctic silverfish, Pleuragramma antarcticwn, and sea bass, Dicentrarchus labrax, were examined histologically. In both species the paired thymic anlagen were infiltrated by small lymphocytes at the earliest post-larval s...
