Parts of their gonads were prepared for histological testing. The gonads’ diameters varied by month. Each gonad contained many ovarian follicles with different morphologies and was surrounded by several testicular follicles. The ovarian and testicular follicles were separate, although the latter were always present near the former. Repeated measures ANOVA tests were conducted to investigate monthly changes in oocyte stages. In squirts measuring 12–13 cm in length, the gonads measured 30–50 mm from July to August; 20–25 mm from September to October; 15–20 mm from November to February; and 25–40 mm from March to June. Oogonia budded from the germinal epithelium with diameters of 20–30 µm. Previtellogenic oocytes measuring 70–120 µm were characterized by the deposition of small granules of protein around the nucleus, a continuous layer of follicular cuboidal epithelium, and scattered vacuoles in the ooplasm. The measurement of gonads and oocyte diameters were performed by image analysis (Image scope 2.3, Image Line, Inc.) and stage micrometer. The vitellogenic oocytes measured 130–220 µm and the follicular epithelium consisted of flattened and cuboidal layers. Beneath the vitelline membrane, scattered test cells appeared in the ooplasm and different granules of protein and MPS were deposited in the ooplasm. In the later phase, lipid droplets began to appear in the ooplasm. Yolk bodies formed after the impregnation of various granules together and the oocyte was ready to be shed. Before spawning, a yolk membrane appeared above the ooplasm. Post-vitellogenic oocytes, in which the homogeneity of ooplasm was restored, underwent gradual lysis and entered the atretic phase. Different stages of sperm development were present year-round in different follicles of the same squirt; hence, the testes were always mature.","AbstractOtherLang":null,"BibLvlCode":"AS","StandardTitle":"Gonadal proliferation and reproductive cycle of the exotic sea squirt <i>Cnemidocarpa amphora</i> (Kott, 1992) (Pleurogona, Styelidae) sampled for the first time from the northern coast of Arabian Gulf in Saudi Arabia","OrigTitleLangCode":"en","OrigTitleLangCodeExtended":"eng","OrigTitleLangID":15,"DateLastModified":{"date":"2024-12-10 01:33:17.368041","timezone_type":1,"timezone":"+01:00"},"UserAccessRight":null,"UserAccID":null,"AuthorKeywords":"sea squirt; testicular follicle; ovarian follicles; gonad; repeated measures; ANOVA; oocyte; vitellogenesis","OtherDescriptors":null,"Notes":null,"AnaPub":2023,"MonPub":null,"DateUpdate":"2023-11-20","DateCreate":"2023-11-20","SecASFANote":null,"ConfID":null,"PeerRev":1,"VlizCoreFlag":1,"WoScode":null,"VABBcode":null,"OpenAcc":1,"DOI":"10.1590/1519-6984.273666"},"refs":null,"anarec":{"AnaID":368838,"PubliDate":2023,"Pagination":"e273666","XtraPublOfAnaID":null,"ISBN":null,"Volume":"83","Issue":null,"BRefMon":null,"BRefMonRR":null,"BRefXtra":null,"BRefXtraRR":null,"SerBRefID":235129,"SerRR":"Brazilian Journal of Biology (Impresso).
