A Comparative Study on Distribution, Morphology, and Some Chemical Constituents of Seminal Vesicles in Catfishes
Seminal vesicles (SV) are present in all catfishes collected in this study : Clarias batrachus (Linnaeus), Wallago attu (Bloch and Schneider), Ompok siluroides (Lecepede), Rita rita ((Hamilton), Mystus tengara (Hamilton), Mystus vittatus (Bloch), Pangassius pangassius (Hamilton), Heteropneustes foss...
