- •
The lobes of the seminal receptacle of Crepidula fornicata contain numerous lobules.
- •
Received spermatozoa line the inner epithelium of the lobules.
- •
Non-attached, excess, degenerating sperm fill the lumina.
- •
Inner epithelium of the lobules degenerates, freeing spermatozoa.
- •
Fertilization is presumed to occur following epithelial degeneration.
