Tucuxi, Sotalia fluviatilis, a coastal cetacean species threatened by artisanal fishing, needs a reproductive biology study in order to manage and preserve the populations subject to mortality for antropic action. A in situ of the preantral follicles allows a better understanding of the preantral phase of the folliculogenesis, little known in cetaceans and totally unknown in S. fluviatilis. Quantitative analysis of the preantral follicle was made in ovarian of S. fluviatilis recovered on the Ceara coast between 1997-1999. The age of the studied sample varied from 0 to 23 years, being sexual maturation above 6 years. The population preantral follicular analysed, was completely degenerate, possibly because of “pos-morten” time. Even so, signi...
