The aim of the present study was to investigate possible pleiotropic effects of the genotypes controlling the palomino and albino coloration on blood phagocyte and lymphocyte activity. The results showed that the wild coloured trout has a higher metabolic and potential killing activity of blood phagocytes, compared to albino and palomino coloured trout. The proliferative response of blood lymphocytes stimulated by ConA or LPS indicated a similar pattern. The results showed that lymphocyte proliferation was statistically significantly higher in wild coloured trout, compared to albino and palomino trout.
