Abstract:Histological techniques were used to assess four questions: 1) Are visual methods of sex identification accurate, 2) What is the sex ratio of nettles in Barnegat Bay, 3) How are they reproducing, and 4) Are they mature? Nettles were collected through trawling, seining, and dip netting and their gonads extracted and embedded on slides. These nettles were analyzed for sex, egg size, and the presence of ruptured sperm follicles. Visual methods were more accurate only when identifying males (0% error). Histologically, there were still more females than males in the population, although only 12% of males were mature. Asexual reproduction is more common and therefore polyp stages should be targeted for management purposes.

Conclusions:•Visual ID only accurate for males•Population slightly skewed female •Asexual reproduction favored•Few mature males

Figure 6: Sexual maturity of malesSexual maturity of males is determined by the presence of ruptured sperm follicles. 12% of males had ruptured follicles, indicating that sexual reproduction among males is not widespread.

Figure 3: Percent error of gonad colorVisual ID is only accurate when determining if a sea nettle is male.

Figure 4: Sex – determined by gonad colorSex ratio of sea nettles determined using gonad color (according to Littleford 1939) suggests a higher proportion of females (78%), suggesting asexual reproduction.

Introduction: Early methods of sexing sea nettles using gonad color (pink gonads for males and yellow/brown for female) is potentially inaccurate1. Using these methods, populations appear predominantly female, indicating asexual reproduction and suggesting that the polyp stage should be targeted for management.
