Ultrastructural Aspects of Spermatogenesis in Phalloceros caudimaculatus (Teleostei, Poeciliidae)
نویسندگان
چکیده
The aim of the present study was to analyze the ultrastructural aspects of spermatogenesis in Phalloceros caudimaculatus, during cell proliferation. The parenchyma is organized morphologically as lobular restricted spermatogonial testis. Spermiogenesis in this species is characterized by four morphological stages of development (spermatids S1 through S4). The mature spermatids and spermatozoa heads are situated at the periphery of the cyst surrounded by the cytoplasm of the Sertoli cells. The germ cell’s ultrastructure and spermatogenesis in P. caudimaculatus are very similar to that of other poeciliids.

The reproductive cycle, size/fecundity relationships and seasonality in the reproduction of the poeciliid Phallocerus caudimaculatus were studied in Southeastern Brazil. There was a positive correlation between the monthly proportion of females with offspring and the day length and between female’s size and offspring number. The reproductive period starts in November, when most of the females c...

Cyprinodontiformes fishes (guppies) are widely distributed in Neotropical regions and use deteriorated microhabitats in rivers where few species can occur. This study was carried out in a stretch of the Paraíba do Sul River in bracketing a large urban-industrial complex. The aim was to assess eventual effects that the industrial complex could have on distribution of two closely related fish spe...
