Histological and histochemical features of the oogenesis in the simultaneous protandric hermaphrodite shrimp Exhippolysmata oplophoroides (Decapoda: Caridea)
This study analyzes the dynamics of the vitellogenesis process in the simultaneous protandric hermaphrodite shrimp Exhippolysmata oplophoroides, based on light microscopic observations. The ovotestes of the shrimps at the different gonadal development stages were removed, fixed and submitted an usua...
