| Abstract: | Summary We investigated the functions of the testicular glands of blenniid fishes by fine-structural and histochemical methods. These glands function in the differentiation and nutrition of germ cells, in the secretion of sialomucins, in phagocytosis of germ cells, and in lipid storage. |
