The objective of this study was to determine the effect of freezing on the function in Atlantic salmon Salmo salar spermatozoa. The semen was frozen in Cortland's medium+1.3M dimethyl sulphoxide+0.3M glucose+2% bovine serum albumin (final concentration) in a ratio of 1:3 (semen:cryoprotectant) as...

The knowledge of sperm quality in the broodstock males of different ages is a prerequisite to identify the reproductive ability of cultivated fish for the hatchery management. Thus, in this work, we analysed sperm function of the semen stored of broodstock males of rainbow trout (Oncorhychus myki...

The current trend in world aquaculture is towards the diversification of cultures, mainly native species. The red cusk eel Genypterus chilensis is a native Chilean species of high gastronomic demand and seasonal exploitation that is projected as a candidate for the development of farming technolo...

The use of α-tocopherol and ascorbic acid in freezing medium prevents lipoperoxidation and damage by ROS (reactive oxygen species); however, the effects of these antioxidants in salmonid spermatozoa have not been studied. In this work the protective effects of antioxidants on the enzymatic activi...

In this article we describe basic aspects of the sperm biology of lebranche mullet (Mugil liza) in the wild and in captivity, in particular assessing the effects of salinity (0, 10, 20, 30, 35, 40, 50 and 60 g L−1) and pH (6, 7, 8, 9 and 10) on sperm motility. Our results indicate that the highes...

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 cold storage and cryopreservation of semen decrease sperm quality. Morphological and biochemical analyses of spermatozoa provide valuable information for the optimization of storage protocols to obtain a sufficient number of spermatozoa for in vitro fertilization. The aim of this study was to...

In vitro storage of salmonid eggs leads to aging of the cells causing a decline in quality and reducing their capacity to develop and produce embryos. The quality of salmonid embryos is assessed by morphologic analyses; however, data on the application of biomarkers to determine the cell viabilit...

Galaxias platei is a Chilean endemic fish, with distribution in an extensive geographic area from the central-Southern zone to the Chilean and Argentinean Patagonia. In this work, the somatic nuclear DNA content (2C-value) of Galaxias platei (Galaxiidae) was determined using Feulgen microdensitom...
The aim of the present study was to experimentaly evaluate the capability of the freshwater mussel Diplodon chilensis as a potential depurator of residual waters in fish farming. With this purpose, the present study was carried out at the fish farm of the School of Aquaculture of the Catholic Uni...
