The aim of the present investigations was to test a novel technology comprising cryoprotectant-free vitrification of the spermatozoa of rainbow trout and to study the ability of sucrose and components of seminal plasma to protect these cells from cryoinjuries. Spermatozoa were isolated and vitrif...

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...

Among all the Ca2+ channels, CatSper channels have been one of the most studied in sperm of different species due to their demonstrated role in the fertilization process. In fish sperm, the calcium channel plays a key role in sperm activation. However, the functionality of the CatSper channels ha...

There is no information about the characteristics of early cleavage in the Patagonian blennie (Eleginops maclovinus), which can be used as a diagnostic tool for embryo quality. The purpose of this investigation, therefore, was to characterize the first blastomeres of E. maclovinus morphologically...

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...

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...
