Abstract
During spermiogenesis cnidarian sperm centrioles associate with a number of accessory structures including microtubular nucleating satellites and pericentriolar processes. These centriolar specializations are particularly well developed in cnidarian sperm and appear to be highly involved in sperm development and function.
