Abstract
Reproductive process represented by gametogenesis and spawning accompanied by oocyte maturation and sperm motility activation in bivalves undergoes under the endocrine and neuroendocrine control as well as other animals. General morphology of germ cell and somatic cell supporting development of germ cell in bivalves are described in this chapter. Endocrine and neuroendocrine factors and their signal transduction which involve in reproductive process are additionally reviewed based on the literatures described morphological, physiological, pharmacological, biochemical, and molecular biological aspect in reproduction.
