The ultrastructural features of gametogenesis have been described in the methane-seep mytilid bivalve Bathymodiolus childressi Gustafson, Turner, Lutz & Vrijenhoek, 1998 collected from the Gulf of Mexico in August 1995. This is the first ultrastructural description of gametogenesis in any methane-seep bivalve. B. childressi is gonochoric, and both the testis and ovary consist of acini surrounded by inter-acinal tissue composed of adipogranular cells that serve a nutrient storage function.
