Gonad morphology of Susan's dwarfgoby Eviota susanae.
The gonad morphology of a dwarfgoby Eviota susanae was described and compared with other species within the genus. Eviota susanae was found to have a persistent integrated ovotestis form of gonad in which both spermatogenic and oogenic tissue were found interspersed throughout the gonad. This is consistent with previously described species of Eviota, suggesting that gonad morphology is conserved across the genus.
