Description:This chapter describes the procedures for determining the reproductive stage of oysters, mytilid mussels, and dreissenid mussels collected for NOAA s National Status and Trends Mussel Watch Project. Analyses are conducted on paraffin-embedded tissues sectioned at a 5-æm thickness and stained using a pentachrome staining procedure. Each slide is examined microscopically to determine the animal s sex and stage of gonadal development. A semi-quantitative ranking is assigned.
