Effect of pH, osmolality and ion concentration on spermatozoa motility and composition parameters of sperm and seminal plasma in pikeperch (Sander lucioperca L.)

摘要

Determining the appropriate conditions for the activation/inhibition of gamete is crucial for successful fertilization and gamete handling. The aim of the current study was to determine the effect of sucrose, glucose, sodium chloride, potassium chloride, and pH on spermatozoa motility in pikeperch (Sander lucioperca L.). Six parameters characterizing spermatozoa motility was determined by computer-assisted sperm analysis (CASA).
