Ultraestructura dels espermatozoides de Crassostrea gigas, Mytilus galloprovincialis, Donax trunculus (Mollusca,Bivalvia)

Abstract

The majority of bivalve mollusks are gonocoric organisms, and some cases of hermaphroditic individuals have been reported in different groups. When it reaches maturity, the male gonad invades the whole of the mantle cavity and gametes are released into the pallial cavity of the individual. The spermatozoa of bivalve mollusks are of a primitive type, as those of all aquatic organisms with external fertilization. They are cells in which three clearly differentiated parts can be identified: a head, a middle piece and a tail. In all three analyzed species: Crassostrea gigas, Mytilus galloprovincialis and Donax trunculus, the spermatozoa fit within this pattern, but with specific morphological variations related to the characteristics of the oocytes they fertilize. In C. gigas, the sperm head is rounded and between the acrosome and the nucleus stands out the subacrosomal region with fibrillar components of actin. The sperm of M. galloprovincialis is much more elongated and the fibrillar system of the subacrosomal region forms an intranuclear channel. The acrosome is conspicuous because of its length. The sperm of D. trunculus fits with the pattern considered to be primitive, although the middle piece has more mitochondria and the centrioles are arranged in a line instead of being orthogonally oriented as in the other analyzed species.

La majoria dels mol·luscs bivalves són organismes gonocòrics, amb alguns casos d'hermafroditisme en diferents grups. La gònada masculina, quan és madura, envaeix tota la cavitat del mantell i els gàmetes són alliberats a la cavitat paleal de l'individu. Els espermatozoides dels bivalves són del tipus primitiu, com tots els dels organismes aquàtics que presenten fecundació externa. Són cèl·lules en les quals es distingeixen tres parts ben diferenciades: cap, peça intermèdia i cua. En les tres espècies estudiades, Crassostrea gigas, Mytilus galloprovincialis i Donax trunculus, els espermatozoides responen a aquest patró, però amb variacions morfològiques especifiques que estan relacionades amb les característiques dels oòcits que han de fecundar. En C. gigas el cap de l'espermatozoide és arrodonit i entre l'acrosoma i el nucli destaca la regió subacrosòmica, amb components fibril·lars d'actina. L'espermatozoide de M. galloprovincialis és molt més allargat que l'anterior i el sistema fibril·lar de la regió subacrosòmica forma un canal intranuclear. L'acrosoma destaca per la seva longitud. L'espermatozoide de D. trunculus segueix el patró considerat primitiu, tot i que en la peça intermèdia conté més mitocondris i els centríols tenen una disposició en línia i no ortogonal, com en els altres estudiats.
