Abstract

The reproductive cycle, development and spatial organization of the gonads of an exotic ascidian, Styela clava, were studied in Cork Harbour, Ireland. Monthly histological samples enabled the division of gonad development into six main stages, ranging from 'inactive' to 'regression'. Gonad development was asynchronous in the population, with more than one stage being found within some months. Gametogenesis was observed from February-November, but peaked between August-October. Spawning took place in September-October, followed by gonad regression in November December.
