Abstract
SYNOPSIS. Tubular structure of the teleost testis can be divided into two basic types distinguished from each other by the distribution of spermatogonia. In most teleosts, spermatogonia occur along the length of the tubules, but in atheriniform fishes they are confined to the terminus of the tubule. Variations in these testis-types are discussed particularly in light of modifications leading to the production of spermatozeugmata or spermatophores.Keywords
