Ovary The gonads of 13 unparasitized and 12 parasitized female shrimp, ranging from 15 to 41 mm and 22 to 41 mm long, respectively, were examined. Except for two unparasitized shrimp, all were collected during the breeding season. Ovarian size in unparasitized females was dependent on total body length and stage of ovarian activity. For example, the ovary of a 41-mm-long uninfected female, immediately prior to oviposition, was 8 mm long and extended from a point anterior to the stomach, posteriorly into the anterior abdomen, whereas a 40-mm- long uninfected ovigerous female with a recently deposited brood possessed a mm-long ovary that extended only to the posterior margin of the thorax. The ovaries of the largest parasitized females were less than mm long. Ovaries of uninfected mature females (see Fig. 5) simultaneously contained im- mature oocytes (devoid of yolk) and mature oocytes (480-900 /xm in diameter) with varying deposits of yolk granules, depending on the state of ovarian activity. Unparasitized mature females collected out of the breeding season, immature ~ £ 3-5' jE Z LLJ -I < uj I O A PARASITIZED ?? AUNPARASITIZED??. 12 15 20 25 30 35 40 45 TOTAL LENGTH (MM) FIGURE 4.
