Journal Title: Aquaculture, Aquarium, Conservation & Legislation - International Journal of the Bioflux Society - Year 2010, Vol 3, Issue 3
Abstract
The objectives of the present study were to determine the relationships between chemicals compositions of seminal plasma with sperm motility traits in Prussian carp, Carassius gibelio (Bloch, 1782). There were significant positive correlations between sperm movment duration and Ca+2 of semen. Also, a significant positive relationship was found between percentage of motile spermatozoa and Ca+2 of semen. On the other hand, Na+, Cl- and pH correlated negatively with sperm movment duration. Understanding of such correlations can be useful to evaluation of sperm quality and make media (extender) for dilution of semen and improving sperm motility parameters of Prussian carp.
