Abstract

Among the 142 Mytilus galloprovincialis animals which were studied histologically, 3 revealed themselves to be intersexuate, i.e. a percentage of 2.12%. All these 3 Individuals were found in minute isolate population. Mixed acini and areas of negative induction were found in the region where the gonads are contiguous. The possible existence of sex hormones supposed to account for sexual differentiation, and which may be produced by an interstitial gland, is discussed.
