Abstract:Sperm quality is a fundamental parameter for the effective reproduction of fish in captivity and the development of reproductive techniques, such as semen cryopreservation. This study aimed to determine the composition of the seminal plasma of Pseudoplatystoma reticulatum and analyze the relationships between plasma components and sperm characteristics. Nine males were induced to spermiation with carp pituitary extract in the reproductive period of the species (November and December/2019). Semen characteristic… Show more
