Abstract—The influence of cortisone on leucocytes composition in the blood of common carp (Cyprinus carpio L.)
is studied. Following the hormone injection, the relative number of leucocytes decreased and the number of neutro-
phils and blast-form cells increased in the leucocyte spectrum of experimental fish.

Key words: cortisone, common carp, leucocytes.
