The use of synthetic hormones to regulate sexual maturity in captive fish is a common practice. With aquaculture practices, fish production is desired throughout the year, necessitating the maintenance of quality standards, mainly regarding the characteristics of the fish produced. Embryonic deve...
The development of cryopreservation techniques has led to important changes in animal reproductive biotechnology. However, these techniques are associated with cellular and molecular damage, affecting the mitochondrial function and quality of spermatozoa; moreover studies in fish are limited. In ...

Calcium is a prerequisite factor for triggering the sperm activation in salmonids. The aim of this study was to test different concentrations of Ca(2+)on sperm motility activation and fertility of rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss). Semen samples activated with calcium free activator (0.0 mM) an...

Patagonian blenny (Eleginops maclovinus) is the only member of Eleginopidae family. It has been an important resource for Chilean artisanal fishermen communities, however, capture volumes have progressively decreased over last decades likely because overfishing, and concerns for conservation of t...
