Resumen

Los peces Indo-Pacíficos, Pterois miles y P. volitans, han invadido recientemente la costa este de los Estados Unidos y el Caribe y representan una significativa amenaza a las comunidades nativas de peces coralinos. Unos pocos estudios han documentado la reproducción en peces de la subfamilia Pteroinae del Indo-Pacífico. Este estudio presenta la descripción de la ovogénesis y la formación de puesta en P. miles y P. volitans recolectados desde aguas a mar abierto de Carolina del Norte, U.S.A, y las Bahamas. Mediante el uso de observaciones histológicas y de laboratorio, encontramos que no había diferencias en la biología reproductiva entre P. miles y P. volitans. Estas especies desovan huevos flotantes que están encerrados en una masa hueca de moco producida por células secretoras especializadas del complejo de la pared del ovario. Los ovocitos se desarrollan en pedúnculos altamente especializados, estando todos los estadios de los ovocitos presentes en el ovario de las hembras en puesta, y los ovocitos más maduros se localizan en la zona terminal, cerca del lumen del ovario. Dadas estas características del ovario, estas especies son asincrónicas, ponedores secuenciales indeterminados y son, por tanto, capaces de tener una reproducción sostenida a lo largo del año cuando las condiciones son adecuadas. Este modo de reproducción podría haber contribuido al rápido reciente establecimiento de estas especies en el noroeste del Atlántico y Caribe.
