Ontogeny of gonadotropin releasing hormone and gonadotropin immunoreactivity in brain and pituitary of normal and estrogen-treated guppies, Poecilia …
1987
Gonadotropin releasing hormone (GnRH) and gonadotropic hormone (GTH) were identified by immunohistochemistry in the brains and pituitaries of neonate, juvenile and adult guppies. GTH was present in some cells of the pars intermedia (pi) and proximal pars distalis (ppd) of all animals. GnRH was found in the perikarya of the nucleus olfactoretinalis. In the pituitaries of juvenile 30-day-old guppies, GnRH-immunoreactive cells existed in a "juvenile pattern", whereas in adult animals GnRH was recognized in only a few cells. GnRH-immunoreactive fibers were seen in the pituitaries of animals that were 30 days or older. In adult guppies, the ventral and lateral ppd (the gonadotropic region) conta…
Dualistisches Fortpflanzungsverhalten bei dem protogynen LippfischThalassoma bifasciatum und einige Beobachtungen über dessen Tag-Nacht-Wechsel
1973
1.Thalassoma bifasciatum is a protogynous wrasse with (partial) sexual dimorphism and male dichromatism. Sex-inversion takes place without affecting the color pattern. 2. Males with female-like color dress indulge in group spawning; males with the bright color pattern perform pair spawning. 3. Among the brightly colored males exists a well-established hierarchy. Dominant males only have a particular spawning area in which they spawn daily at a certain time around noon. The spawning area is optically marked by conspicuous behavior of the bright male. Courtship activities towards individual partners are rather superficial. 4. The female has the leading role in pair spawning. In the extremely …
Protandric hermaphrodite peculiarities in Amphiprion frenatus Brevoort (Teleostei, Pomacentridae)
1990
Electron microscopy of the male phase of the ovotestis of Amphiprion frenatus, a protandric hermaphrodite, showed no connective tissue between male and female areas and, as the basal lamina was lacking both along the seminiferous tubules and round the previtellogenic oocytes, the male and female germ cells were only separated by their respective surrounding somatic cells (Sertoli and follicle cells). Besides previtellogenic oocytes, oocytes in meiotic prophase and very small (young) previtellogenic oocytes, were detected in the ovarian part, as spermatogenesis proceeded, revealing oogenetic activity. Degeneration of some previtellogenic oocytes and their follicle cells was discernible.
