Morphological development of the gonads in zebrafish

2003-04-01

Abstract excerpt

Gonadogenesis of zebrafish Danio rerio was investigated by means of light microscopy to test the suitability of gonad histology as an endpoint in hazard assessment of endocrine‐active compounds. At age 2 weeks post‐fertilization (pf), primordial germ cells were found in a dorsocaudal position in the body cavity. At 4 weeks pf, the majority of the fish (86%) possessed paired gonads with meiotic germ cells; these go...
