3.1.5 Maturity stages of testes
In shrimps, the testes show marked variations for different maturity stages. As the time advances, the maturation progresses. Different identifiable maturity stages of testes are described below: Immature: Transparent / creamy in colour; occupying less than 1/6th of body cavity; without a prominent vas deferens. Maturing: Creamy white; occupying 1/4th of body cavity. Matured: Milky white with thick vas deferens; occupying full body cavity. |
