Seasonal variations in gamete development in the Iceland scallop, Chlamys islandica
Annual cycles of development were studied in male and female Iceland scallops (Chlamys islandica) . Volume fractions of each germ cell type and other gonadal tissue were determined by histological and stereological techniques. Spawning occurs during a short period in late June and early July.
