Assessing the possibility for cultivation of the smooth scallops (Flexopecten glaber) along the Bulgarian Black Sea coast requires a from one side very good knowledge of the biology of species, and from the other side internal organs and reproductive tissues, also the changes occurring during reproductive processes. Thus, the study`s aim was to investigate and evaluate the histological structure of internal organs of the Flexopecten glaber caught in Black Sea. Three samples were collected in June 2022 from commercial fishing in Black Sea waters near Cape Shabla. The shell length and weight of each mussel were measured and recorded. The study was carried out by making histological preparations of gonads and internal organs in adult smooth scallops. Hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) staining procedure was used for overview of tissue structures. The histological structure of the gonads and internal organs of scallop was identified and described. The results of current investigation expand the field of knowledge on anatomy and histology of the smooth scallops.
