Abstract
Ultrastructure and sperm morphology were investigated Mactra venerifomis, Mactra chinensis, Spisula sacharinensis, Tresus keenae in Mactridae. All the sperm studied were primitive type. They consisted of three parts; the head, the middle piece and the tail part. The acrosome forms were similar among the 4 species. The acrosome was shaped like a modified hat. It was consisted of two different parts in electronic density; the anterior part, electric lucent part (elp), and the posterior part, electric dense part (edp). But nuclei forms were slightly different among the species. All the species studied had 4 mitocondria at middle piece. We guessed that the Mactridae sperm were family-specific with characterful acrosome shape.
