- Abstract
Ultrastructure of the ovary of the Pacific hagfish was studied. Attention was paid to the mesovarium, small oocytes, oocytes of intermediate size, large oocytes, postovulatory follicles shortly after ovulation, postovulatory follicles considerably after ovulation, and preovulatory atretic follicles. The progressive changes of thecal and granulosa layers in the course of egg development and degeneration are described. No cells showing the ultrastructural characteristics associated with steroidogenesis were found.
