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...

The use of alpha-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 ac...

Galaxias maculatus (Jenyns, 1842), is a gourmet fish of great commercial importance with overexploited fisheries. So, studies of its biology are essential in order to develop a technology for its cultivation (galaxiculture), which is at a pilot stage. The goals of this work are: 1) to provide a s...
P>In terms of fish production, sperm activating substances are important in the controlled insemination. This holds also for salmonids, when being provided with an agent that energizes the spermatozoa. In this study two amino acids (l-glutamate and glycine) were evaluated in their effect on sperm...

For Salmo salar, there is a lack of information on the morphology of the first blastomeres formed during embryonic development and which could be used as a diagnostic tool for the first stages of development. The purpose of this investigation, therefore, was to characterize morphometrically the f...

Many fish species with economic importance have been heavily exploited, causing the collapse of their fisheries. For this reason, there have been attempts to cultivate fish species for commercial purposes, resulting in varying success. It has been observed that when some species are kept in capti...

Follicular atresia in teleost fish: a review
In most teleost fish with external fertilization, the spermatozoids are immobile in the seminal fluid and they are activated only after making contact with all aqueous medium. The time of flagellar movement is short in most species. Furthermore, the factors that trigger this process are different...

Studies about nuclear DNA content in the genus Genypterus are scarce, and the present study gives the first estimate of nuclear DNA content of Genypterus chilensis, with a value of 2C= 1.0 +/- 0.06 pg, value close to that obtained for other Ophidiidae species wich range between 1.2 and 1.68 pg.
