Abstract:The pharaoh cuttlefish, Sepia pharaonis, has become a commercially cultured cephalopod in coastal southeast China. However, information on the reproductive histology of this species remains limited. To describe its reproductive development, this study investigated the ovarian structure and oogenesis of S. pharaonis from hatchlings to the postbreeding stage using anatomical methods and histological techniques. The results showed that oogenesis in the ovary was asynchronous and morphologically variable, with imm… Show more
