Male reproductive system in the South American catfish Conorhynchus conirostris

Abstract: The testes of the catfish Conorhynchus conirostris(n = 67) from the São Francisco River, Minas Gerais, Brazil were of the fringed type, similar to those of some Pimelodidae. The germ, Sertoli and Leydig cells showed characteristics which are general for all vertebrates although the spermatozoa had a peculiar morphology, with an ovoid head without an acrosome, inverted U‐shaped nucleus, a short midpiece and a long tail, typical of teleosts showing external fertilization. The spermatic duct and genital papilla p… Show more

“…These characteristic can be classified as "anastomosing tubular testes" (Grier, 1993;Parenti & Grier, 2004), and as spermatogonia were distributed along the entire extension of S. parahybae seminiferous tubules, it can also be classified as "spermatogonial unrestricted", according to Grier et al (1980). These features were similar to the pattern described for other Neotropical catfish species such as Conorhynchus conirostris (Lopes et al, 2004), Pseudoplatystoma fasciatum (Batlouni et al, 2006), Pimelodella vittata (Santos et al, 2010), Trachelyopterus striatulus (Santos et al, 2014), and others.…”

“…La variabilidad observada, se refiere principalmente a diferencias en la superficie del testí-culo y a la presencia de tejido glandular que puede formar o no, una vesícula seminal Santos et al, 2001). Los testículos de L. marmoratus son digitiformes como ha sido reportado para otros silúridos de la familia Pimelodidae como el Iheringichthys labrosus (Santos et al, 2001(Santos et al, , 2004, Pimelodus blochii (Loir et al, 1989), Rhamdia quelem (Loir et al), Conorhynchus conirostris (Lopes et al, 2004) y Pseudoplatystoma fasciatum (Batlouni et al, 2006), entre otros. Esta característica morfológica, también ha sido reportada en especies de otras familias, dentro las que se destacan, por su importancia económica, miembros de la familia Ictaluridae (Sneed & Clemens, 1963).…”

“…These fibers are found in organs that change its volume and area due to their characteristic to confer strain resistance and stretch. The type I collagen and reticular fibers (type III collagen) can be also required to the structural maintenance of the testis tubules, mainly in the spawning capable phase, which may undergo action of contractile cells, the myoid cells, during the spermiation process (Lopes et al 2004). The MMP-2 metalloproteinase was herein found in interstitial fibroblasts, endothelial and epithelial cells, and endothelial and epithelial cell in testis capsule.…”
