Summary

The oocytes of N. pelagica, the diameter of which is smaller than 100 μ, contains only lipid and yolk inclusions in their cytoplasm. The yolk bodies grow by confluence of Golgi vesicles.

The advent of the sexual maturity is marked by the appearance of acid mucopolysaccharides. Concomitantly with the production of this material, the Golgi apparatus shows typical morphological modifications: dilatation of the distal saccules and release of Golgi vacuoles into the cytoplasm. However vitellogenesis is not completely terminated at this point.

In the mature oocytes the mucopolysaccharid material forms a cortical layer. The dictyosomes are pushed toward the center of the cytoplasm and show signs of degeneration.

The presence of intranuclear annulate lamellae is a constant feature in all mature oocytes examined.

Résumé

Les ovocytes de N. pelagica d'un diamètre inférieur à 100 μ ne renferment dans leur cytoplasme que des inclusions lipidiques et vitellines. Les lobules vitellins s'accroissent par l'adjonction de vésicules golgiennes.

L'approche de la maturité sexuelle est caractérisée par l'apparition de mucopolysaccharides acides. Corrélativement à l'élaboration de ce matériel, l'appareil de Golgi présente, à ce stade, de profondes modifications morphologiques: dilatation des saccules distaux et libération dans le cytoplasme de vacuoles golgiennes. Les processus de vitellogenèse cependant ne sont pas entièrement stoppés.

Dans les ovocytes matures, les lobules mucopolysaccharidiques forment une gangue corticale. Les dictyosomes sont refoulés vers l'intérieur du cytoplasme et présentent des figures d'involution.

La présence de lamelles annelées intra-nucléaires a été observée de façon constante dans tous les ovocytes matures examinés.
