Abstract
ABSTRACT The determination of ovarian stages is essential for an understanding of reproductive biology and informing sustainable management of commercially caught marine organisms. This research developed improved microscopic assessment criteria for the prawn, Penaeus (Melicertus) latisulcatus, by reviewing microscopic criteria used in the literature and assessing cell composition of ovary tissue from 97 females. Whilst histological staging is not a new technique, this research outlines new development criteria for assessing ovary development stages in P. latisulcatus. A principal component analysis (PCA) was used with the microscopic classification system and showed distinct groups for each stage. Based on the proportion of cell types, distinct groupings were apparent, which corresponded to the main microscopic stages, in particular for stage 3 ovaries. This revised classification will improve the accuracy of ovarian staging techniques for P. latisulcatus and can be used as a guide for the interpretation and analysis of macroscopic stages during seasonal spawning events for the purpose of better informing fisheries management.
期刊介绍:
Published since 1880, the Transactions of the Royal Society of South Australia is a multidisciplinary journal that aims to publish high quality, peer-reviewed papers of particular relevance to Australasia.
There is a particular focus on natural history topics such as: botany, zoology, geology, geomorphology, palaeontology, meteorology, geophysics, biophysics, soil science and environmental science, and environmental health. However, the journal is not restricted to these fields, with papers concerning epidemiology, ethnology, anthropology, linguistics, and the history of science and exploration also welcomed.
Submissions are welcome from all authors, and membership of the Royal Society of South Australia is not required.
The following types of manuscripts are welcome: Reviews, Original Research Papers, History of Science and Exploration, Brief Communications, Obituaries.
