Abstract
Male and female gametogenesis in Lanice conchilega are described and illustrated as seen by light microscopy. There is no evidence for size-selectivity in the uptake of male gametes by the hypertrophied reproductive nephromixia, since undissociated motile sperm platelets as well as spermatozoa appear to be taken up by the genital funnels, and such funnels show no sexual dimorphism. Maturation of the coelomic oocytes is marked by a change in shape and the appearance of a surface reticulum of ridges.This publication has 4 references indexed in Scilit:
