“…The splenosomatic index is an indirect measurement of immune function in fish [22], and dramatically increases in stressed or diseased Rainbow Trout [23]. The splenosomatic values observed in this study were all slightly higher than those reported for rainbow trout in a number of other studies [24 -27], but were very similar to those observed in one other study [28,29], and well within normal values [30].…”

“…Spleen, head kidney and trunk kidney are the important immune organs in fish and the immune organ somatic index is an indirect indicator of immunological status, such as spleen index [39]. In the present study, the head kidney somatic index of the control fish decreased markedly post bacterial challenge.…”
