--- Chiton cumingsii is a short-distributed species habitant of the intertidal zone fron the cold waters of the Peruvian-Chilean Province (7º-18ºSL), that in high temperatures (19ºC) after the El Niño Event 1997-98, variations in the cycle of the gonadal maturity were observed demanding more metabolic energy following on growth and reproduction, with negative effects in the individuals morphometric and the oocytes citometric. Analysis of variations in the gonadal maturity was done evaluating the gonadal indices and histological features in samples collected from october 1998 to november 1999 in Ancon Bay, while by histochemical analysis was described the morphological development and oocytes-carbohydrates dynamics in oogenesis. The sex ratio was of 4:3 in favor to males without significant differences, except during the spawning stage of april and august. No significant differences between sexes were found in the morphological measures, but higher correlations between length and weight were observed in males. In reproductive analysis, the onset of gametogenesis coincided with increasing sea temperatures in early autumn and decreasing temperatures in spring. Spawnings were in decreasing temperatures in later winter–spring with higher gonadic index values. Histological and histochemical results differentiated five cellular stages in oogenesis. Oogonia, 14_m cells with scarce basophilic cytoplasm are surrounded by few flat follicle cells. In pre-vitellogenetic immature oocytes occurs an increment of mucopolysaccharid acid in cytoplasmic vesicles, while at the end of the immature terminal oocytes (Oc2) begins the vitellogenesis with a reduction of vesicle size, presence of PAS and glycogen-like material spots near them, and the beginning of chorion formation. Dense masses of yolk in primary vitellogenic in mature oocytes (Oc3) completely fill the cytoplasm, decreasing the basophily in secondary vitellogenic mature oocytes (Oc4). Reaching full growth 165_m oocyte size, a chorion differentiated into a series of 38 _m cupules-shape length with distal folds, structured by three (mucopolysaccharid, glycoproteins and lipids) layers. Even no seasonal variations in quantity of reserve material were found, considerable reductions in oocyte size were related to the higher temperatures of 19°C. The presence of glycoproteins in follicle cells is attributed to the chorion formation, while a gradient in mucopolysaccharid and glycogen material during maturity indicates a transfer activity between follicle cells and oocytes.
