The posterior kidney of Oreochromis niloticus was examined using both light and transmission electron microscope (TEM). This study showed that the poste 1ior kid ney could not be demarcated into a renal cortex or medulla, but instead numerous nephrons and ducts. Each nephron was formed of a renal corpuscle and a renal tubule. The renal corpuscle contained capillary glomerulus enclosed by Bowman’s capsule. The re nal tubule was subdivided into a short neck segment, first and second portion of proxi mal segment. intermediate segment. distal segment and collecting tubule. The latter was connected to the mesonephric duct
