Para el estudio de la gametogénesis, escala de madurez y estimación de la talla de primera madurez gonadal de “navaja” Tagelus dombeii, las muestras procedieron de las zonas Caleta de Parachique y Las Delicias, y fueron colectadas a bordo de embarcaciones marisqueras por buzos artesanales, durante Enero – Diciembre del año 2009. La zona para tomar las muestras comprendieron desde los grados 05º 40' 33.3'' (LS) hasta 05º 49' 21.8'' (LS). En el estudio de la gametogénesis, se observó que los ovarios presentaron tres tipos de ovocitos: ovocito inmaduro (OI), ovocito en maduración (OEM) y ovocito maduro (OM), además del ovocito atrésico (OA) para las hembras, mientras que para los machos las células sexuales encontradas fueron: espermatogonio = SG, espermatocito = SC y espermatozoide = SP. La escala microscópica de madurez gonadal para “navaja” T. dombeii fue establecida con seis estadios, siendo estos: Virginal = 0, Reposo = I, En Maduración = II, Maduro =III, Desovante/Expulsante = IV y Recuperación = V. Así mismo, se estableció, que la talla de primera madurez gonadal es de 61 mm de longitud total (LT) para las hembras y 58 mm para machos, obteniendo un promedio de 58 mm LT. Mientras que la talla de primer desove/expulsión fue de: 67 mm (LT) para hembras y 66 mm LT para machos siendo promedio para ambos sexos de 66 mm LT. Además, se reporta la capacidad de T. dombeii de cambiar el sexo de hembra a macho (hermafroditismo protógino).

It is described the sperm ultraestructure differentiation during spermiogenesis of Tagelus plebeius (Lightfoot, 1786). The spermatozoon is an uniflagellated cell of the primitive type. The head region contains a rounded or conical nucleus surrounded by acrosome. The middle piece contains four mitochondria which are arranged around the axoneme. The flagellum contains the usual microtubular axoneme.

The length weight relationship of three benthic bivalves namely, Senilia (= Anadara) senilis (bloody cockle), Tagelus adansonii (knife clam), Tellina nymphalis (soft shell clam) from the Andoni Flats were determined. The bivalves which are of ecological importance were obtained from the intertidal areas of the Andoni Flats. Shell lengths of the bivalves were measured and corresponding dry weight measurements were also taken. The data obtained were then subjected to regression analysis using the FAO-ICLARM Fish Stock Assessment Tools (FiSAT). The length weight relationships obtained from the FiSAT analysis indicated isometric growth for Senilia (= Anadara) senilis, with slope (b) value of 2.942; positive allometric growth for Tagelus adansonii, with a ‘b’ value of 3.395 and negative allometric growth for Tellina nymphalis with ‘b’ value of 2.633. KEYWORDS: bivalves, length-weight, isometric growth, allometric growth, cockle, clam.

This work evaluates the mercury (Hg) contamination status (sediments and biota) of the Bijagós archipelago, off the coast of Guinea-Bissau. Sediments exhibited very low concentrations (<1-12ngg(-1)), pointing to negligible sources of anthropogenic Hg in the region. Nevertheless, Hg is well correlated to the fine fraction, aluminium, and loss on ignition, indicating the effect of grain size and organic matter content on the presence of Hg in sediments. Mercury in the bivalves Tagelus adansoni and Senilia senilis did not vary considerably among sites, ranging within narrow intervals (0.09-0.12 and 0.12-0.14μgg(-1) (dry weight), respectively). Divergent substrate preferences/feeding tactics may justify slight differences between species. The value 11ngg(-1) is proposed as the sediment background concentration for this West-African coastal region, and concentrations within the interval 8-10ngg(-1) (wet weight) may be considered as reference range for S. senilis and T. adansoni in future monitoring studies.
