Lipid yolk synthesis in a marine teleost, Blennius pholis L

The site of lipid yolk synthesis in the marine teleost Blennius pholis L. is examined. The relative distributions of cellular organelles and inclusions in the developing oocytes are analysed by morphometric analysis, which indicates that synthesis is probably endogenous occurring in the perinuclear...

Description
Summary:The site of lipid yolk synthesis in the marine teleost Blennius pholis L. is examined. The relative distributions of cellular organelles and inclusions in the developing oocytes are analysed by morphometric analysis, which indicates that synthesis is probably endogenous occurring in the perinuclear cytoplasm. The role of lipid yolk in this species is discussed.
