Six-month ovarian cycle of S. rivulatus. While ovarian cells in the first and second development phase were observed in June and July, only the first development stage and mitotic ovarian cells were found during the other months; A – June, B – July, C – August, D – September, E – October, F – November; scale – 50 μm
