Summary Goldfish,Carassius auratus, which lived at a temperature varying between 22° and 24° C, were exposed to cold shock,i.e., immersion in water at 2° C for 3.5 to 4.0 min. One hour, two hours, four hours, six hours and 24 hours after that treatment, cold-stressed animals were sacrificed and smears of their blood prepared. Comparisons of the differential counts of the white blood cells of these animals with those of control fish indicated that significant lymphopenia and neutrophilia occurred early, one and two hours after cessation of the cold shock (Table 1). By four hours after treatment, the counts for the experimentals and controls were not significantly different (Table 1).
