Lymphocytes dominate among leukocytes in the peripheral blood of pink salmon and chum salmon during their marine period. Both species lack eosinophils, while basophils are also absent in pink salmon. The proportion of segmented neutrophils and the size of lymphocytes, monocytes, and stab neutrophils are lower in chum salmon compared to pink salmon.

In both species eosinophils are absent, while in pink salmon basophils are also absent. The proportion of segmented neutrophils and the size of lymphocytes, monocytes, and stab neutrophils are lower in chum salmon than in pink salmon.
