Resumen:
Abstract The testicles of Mustelus schimitti from a temperate estuary in the South Western Atlantic have a diametric development in which round-shaped spermatocysts show a zonal arrangement. Each zone had spermatocysts containing germ cells in a single development phase. Adult specimens showed six different stages from spermatogonia to mature sperm. The same morphological stages were found in young animals, while some adult stages have been found in immature animals among the spermatogonia, whether primary or secondary. Spermatic stages were found in similar sequences as described for M. manazo, M. griseus and other elasmobranchs.
