Abstract
A comprehensive study of the main morphophysiological parameters of blood and immunocompetent organs of Polypterus senegalus Cuvier, 1829, one of the most ancient living species of fish, is presented. No fundamental differences in morphological or basic physiological and biochemical parameters of blood or the immune system in comparison with other fish species from polypterus are revealed. The investigated species has well-developed mechanisms of nonspecific protection and a high adaptive potential.
