Scanning electron and optical microscopic examination of the hinge apparatus and primary ligament pit of two Recent mytilids (Mytilus edulis and Modiolus modiolus) revealed a similar sequence of ontogenetic changes in both species from the prodissoconch I stage through metamorphosis. Hinge-line dentition was absent at the prodissoconch I stage. Provinculum length and complexity increased throughout larval development with progressive lateral thickening characteristic of the family Mytilidae.

The purpose of this study was to localize the red neuronal pigment in Mytilus edulis and examine its role in the control of lateral ciliary activity in the gill. The visceral ganglia (Vg) in the central nervous system show an over al red pigmentation. Most red pigments examined in squash preps and cryostat sec tions were localized in the neuronal cell bodies and proximal axon regions. Unstained cryostat sections showed highly localized patches of this pigment scattered throughout the cells in the form of dense granular masses about 5-7 um in diameter, with the individual granules ranging from 0.6-1.3 um in diame ter. Tissue stained with Gomori's method for Fe showed bright blue granular masses of about the same size and structure as previously seen in unstained cryostat sections.Thick section microanalysis (Fig.l) confirmed both the localization and presence of Fe in the nerve cell. These nerve cells of the Vg share with other pigmented photosensitive cells the common cytostructural feature of localization of absorbing molecules in intracellular organelles where they are tightly ordered in fine substructures.
