Note(s): Transmission electron microscopy reveals that the ovaries of Ferosagitta hispida contain four somatic tissues. A myoepithelial ovary wall, continuous with a thin layer of peritoneocytes lining the coelomic cavity, encloses a fluid-filled ovarian space in which oocytes develop. Lamellar extensions of a "follicular reticulum" branch throughout the ovarian space and ensheath developing oocytes. This tissue has been overlooked in most previous studies of chaetognath ovaries.
