Histological demonstration of gonad development in the banana shrimp, Fenneropenaeus merguiensis by Jirakanit Chimnual, Jirawat Saetan, Wilaiwan Chotigeat

“…In this study, histological analysis and in situ hybridization of vasa expression (from embryo to testis development) were used to demonstrate the movement of PGCs. Hematoxylin and Eosin staining and in situ hybridization with the VASA probe revealed that the PGCs migrated retrogradely along the midgut, colonizing the area between the hepatopancreas and heart, a region that becomes the genital ridge in the postlarval stage. …”
