Effect of pH, osmolality and temperature on sperm motility of pink cusk-eel (Genypterus blacodes, (Forster, 1801))
Sperm cryopreservation is an important tool for reproductive management; however, it has not been possible to perform this procedure for coho salmon. This study was designed to assess the effect of cryopreservation on sperm functional parameters, oxidative stress markers and fertilizing capacity ...
Storage of refrigerated semen is a simple and inexpensive procedure that can facilitate the management and reproduction programmes in aquaculture and allows to store semen for in vitro reproduction, quality analyses, hatchery production support, selective in vitro breeding, disease diagnosis, tra...

Effects of short-term storage on sperm function in fish semen: a review
Patagonian blenny (E. maclovinus) is a marine species recently placed in captivity and which are potentially farmable. Understanding and improving its sperm capacity to withstand short-term storage conditions is a key element of initiating an artificial propagation program for this species. The a...

Patagonian blenny (Eleginops maclovinus) spermatozoa quality after storage at 4 degrees C in Cortland medium
Sperm motility is considered as a key factor allowing determination of semen quality and predicts fertilizing capacity. In many fish species, the spermatozoa are immotile in the testes and seminal plasma, and motility is induced when they are released in the aqueous environment. Initiation and ac...
The main objective of this work was to study the effects of banana flour as energy sources on broiler performance. Seventy-five broilers were randomly distributed into five groups each with 15 broilers (n = 15 broilers/group). The broilers were grouped to maize-soybean meal diet as control, T-1: ...

In this study, the morphology and ultrastructure of Eleginops maclovinus spermatozoa were characterized through scanning and electron microscopy. Findings revealed that E. maclovinus spermatozoa can be differentiated into three major parts: a spherical head without acrosome (typical for externall...
Sperm motility in fish with external fertilization is critical for reproductive efficiency in aquaculture, especially in salmonids. Gamete preservation techniques, such as cryopreservation, however, reduce sperm motility and fertilizing capacity. Very few studies have addressed cryodamage from en...

The aim of this study was to evaluate effects of selection using the Percoll density gradient method on motility, mitochondrial membrane potential (Delta Psi Mit) and fertility in a subpopulation of testicular spermatozoa obtained from Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar). Samples were divided into thre...

The development of sperm cryopreservation has enabled transcendental changes to occur in the reproductive biotechnology of both mammals and fish; it has become a basic tool for animal improvement. Nevertheless, these protocols cause damage to cell structure and physiology, altering sperm function...
