Abstract

Differences in the ovary development rate in early marine period in the Sea of Okhotsk waters were demonstrated based on the histological analysis of juvenile Pacific salmon gonads. The rate and specifics of the gamet development in the early marine period influence gonad maturation rate in the ocean, adult fecundity and the time of return for spawning. Morphological deviations in developing oocytes were revealed in the course of analysis of the juvenile salmon ovaries in early marine period. Abnormalities in the juvenile ovaries indicate of abnormal abiotic conditions and can serve criterion to evaluate anthropogenic effects.
