The fish farming industry has been more focused on the quality of eggs or larvae rather than
that of sperm, even though the quality of both gametes may affect fertilisation success and …

The spermatozoa of most fish species are immotile in the testis and seminal plasma.
Therefore, motility is induced after the spermatozoa are released into the aqueous …

Sperm motility is a key factor in allowing us to determine semen quality and fertilizing
capacity. Motility in semen is mainly controlled by K+ in salmonids, and probably also in …

This article reviews the use of hormonal treatments to enhance sperm production in
aquaculture fish and the methods available for evaluating sperm quality. The different types …

Climate change and urbanisation of watercourses affect water temperatures and current flow
velocities in river systems on a global scale. This represents a particularly critical issue for …

Fish sperm motility is nowadays considered the best biomarker for the quality of fish
spermatozoa, and sperm motion parameters from more than 300 fish species have been …

Abstract Sturgeon production in Western Europe originating from aquaculture in 1999 was
approximately 1300 t revealing an increasing trend. Three species represent 95% of the …

The quality of fish gametes, both male and female, are determined by several factors (age,
management, feeding, chemical and physical factors, water quality, etc.) that have an impact …

Motility is a key factor in function of the spermatozoon and determines semen quality and
fertilizing capacity. Effective motility occurs when sperm is diluted in a swimming solution …

The control of abiotic parameters is fundamental for fish survival, growth and reproduction.
These factors have a direct effect on sperm quality. Thus, this study evaluated the effect of …
