Abstract:

In this study, ovarian development, reproductive cycle, egg development and its ultrastructure of Paphia textile in Beibu Gulf of Guangxi were investigated using anatomical observation, ovarian tissue sectioning and transmission electron microscopy techniques. The results showed that P. textile has one reproductive cycle in one year, and the ovarian development of P. textile can be divided into five stages: proliferating stage (May to July), growing stage (July to September), maturing stage (September to November), spawning stage (November to January of the next year), and resting stage (January to April of the next year). According to the relevant characteristics of the egg development and vitellogenesis of P. textile, it can be divided into four main stages: the first stage is the oocytes stage, the second stage is the phase of previtellogenesis oocytes stage, the third stage is the phase of vitellogenesis oocytes stage, and the fourth stage is the phase of postvitellogenic oocytes stages. The phase of vitellogenesis is an important stage of vitellogenesis, during which mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum, golgiosome, lysosomes and other organelles form yolk granule in different ways. The water temperature in the sea area was closely related to the ovarian development of P. textile and was an important factor affecting the ovarian development of P. textile. P. textile is hermaphroditic, and no hermaphroditism has been found. The results of the study provide providing basic data for reproductive biology, artificial breeding, breeding and germplasm resources protection of P. textile.
