RESUMO
Ultrastructurally the spermatozoon of Acanthopagrus schlegeli (Sparidae) has a spherical, homogeneously electron-dense nucleus with a deep axial nuclear fossa, and an unusual notch, shaped like a bowtie, in the nuclear region. The short midpiece contains four spherical mitochondria and encircles the basal body of the flagellum. It is concluded that the spermatozoon is of a primitive type, although it is characterized by several unique features which may provide useful systematic characters. © 1993 Wiley-Liss, Inc.
