Abstract
Cultured larvae of the Japanese oyster (Crassostrea gigas) were analyzed ultrastructurally. Spherical bodies inside the gastro-intestinal cavity were observed. These structures seem to be marine fungus similar to Hyalochlorella sp. Dense cellular bodies of variable size found in ciliated cells of the velum are also described, they would be associated with tissue damage. This is the first record for these abnormalities in larvae cultured in the south of Chile.
