    The article presents a study of the mesonephros ultrastructure of Baikal omul Coregonus migratorius, Baikal whitefish Coregonus baicalensis, and a cross between Baikal whitefish and humpback whitefish (C. baicalensis × Coregonus pidschian). The mesonephros ultrastructure was studied using electron microscopy methods. The results of the study show that the number of mature granulocytes is a systematic feature and does not depend on the ecology of fish. The quantitative characteristics of blood cells and the ultrastructural features of leukocytes in the mesonephros are associated with the functioning of the nonspecific defence system in fish. Morphological diversity of epithelial cells in nephron tubules is the ancestral characteristic of the modern omul population, associated with geological and climatic events in the history of Lake Baikal. The development of haematopoietic tissue in the mesonephros, the ultrafine structure of ion-transporting interstitial cells, as well as some ultrastructural features found in the nephron, reflect the adaptive capabilities of the species to live in the ultra-deep Lake Baikal. © 2024 American Association for Anatomy.
