The rainbow trout thymus is a paired organ, organized in 3 adjacent zones. The gland, lying on a thick connective tissue layer, is covered by a thin epithelial capsule. Cellular components of thymus are essentially the thymocytes and the epithelial cells. Thymocytes occur mainly in the inner and outer zones but neither cortex nor medulla are clearly delimited. Septa represent a typical epithelial structure associated with thymocytes and blood vessels. The thymus is well vascularized and EM demonstrates a characteristic relationship between vascular system and lymphoid tissue.
