EGGSHELL ULTRASTRUCTURE IN ARGULUS JAPONICUS (BRANCHIURA) [PDF]
Journal of Crustacean Biology, 1997 ABSTRACT Eggshell ultrastructure is described in a branchiuran, Argulus japonicus. Growing oocytes of various sizes are found on the outer surface of the ovary. They are protruded outward, covered by a thin basal lamina of the ovarian epithelium which connects them on the ovarian surface.
