Fig. 8From: Multiplicity of Buc copies in Atlantic salmon contrasts with loss of the germ cell determinant in primates, rodents and axolotlUltrastructure of Atlantic salmon oocytes. a Stage 2 oocytes with granular ooplasm/Balbiani body. Black arrows indicate accumulations of nuage close to nuclear envelope and numerous nucleoli. b An area with aggregates of nuage and numerous mitochondria. c Ooplasm of stage 2 oocytes with endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi complex near the nuclear membrane. d Stage 4 oocyte surrounded with follicular cells. BL-basal membrane; CA-cortical alveoli; CT-connective tissue; ER-endoplasmic reticulum; GC-Golgi complex; GO-granular ooplasm; GRC-granulosa cell; HO- homogeneous ooplasm; LB-lipid body; M-mitochondria; NU-nuage; N-nucleus; n-nucleolus; TC-theca cellBack to article page
