Аннотация:Development of sex cells, sperm motility, and initial stages of embryonic development are
described in a tropical representative of the family Mullidae, freckled goatfish Upeneus tragula, from the
coastal zone of Vietnam. In Nha Trang Bay, the gonads in the majority of sexually mature females are at IV,
IV–V, and VI–IV maturity stages over the entire year , and the type of oogenesis is continuous. Anomalous
structure of oocytes is registered in 15% of investigated females. In Ha Long Bay, the gonads of almost all sex
ually mature females are at maturity stage II in December. In adult males, spermatozoa are the most numer
ous in elongated spermiducts. Based on computerassisted analysis of motility of spermatozoa removed from
a spermiduct and activated in marine water, sperm velocity reaches 53 µm/s in 1 min after activation, and the
duration of progressive movements of spermatozoa does not exceed 5 min.
