“…It has been demonstrated that the duration of motility is temperature dependent and species specific [56][57][58]. In cyprinids, it was shown that extracellular and intracellular pH, as well as the ionic composition of the swimming media, influences the initiation and duration of sperm motility [59].…”

“…Fish species are adapted to a large variety of temperatures (from several degrees below 0 to 40-50°C). Low temperature could represent an adverse factor for sperm to fertilize eggs because decreasing the temperature reduces the flagellar beat frequency and consequently the sperm translational velocity [57]. This is probably compensated by the increase motility duration observed when temperature is decreased [57,58,119], the latter increasing statistically the chances of egg-sperm meeting.…”

“…In addition, measurement of flagellar parameters including beat frequency at different temperatures allows better understanding of energetic constraints involved in sperm movement [4,56,57]. The behavior of fish sperm flagella presents various and original interests as they are able to convert chemical energy into mechanical to generate movement [120].…”

A fish spermatozoon has a minimalist structure: head, mid-piece and flagellum with the active inner core, called "axoneme". The axoneme represents a cylindrical scaffold of microtubular doublets arranged around a pair of single microtubules and assorted along the entire length with the dynein-ATPase motors. The mechanisms of wave generation along the flagellum becomes possible due to sliding of microtubules relative to each other and their propagation is a result of a balance between mechanical constraints and intra-flagellar biochemical actors that generate force.How fish sperm flagella mechanics adapt to external constraints, such as vicinity of surfaces or viscosity, during the very short period of motility? By use of high-speed video microscopy, stroboscopic system, modelisation and simulation approaches, we show that fish sperm flagella respond to physical and chemical signals from environment in a very brief period of time.This review chapter presents a brief description of the biological and biochemical features that characterize fish spermatozoa. Then it describes the biophysical aspects of flagellar movement covering various topics involved in fish sperm motility and offering a compilation of the recent knowledge acquired on different physical properties, such as wave propagation, energetics, hydrodynamics, temperature, viscosity, axonemal microtubules dynamics, among other aspects.

“…Sperm of most external fertilization fish species is immotile in the testis and seminal plasma and motility is induced when in contact with the aquatic environment during natural reproduction or with activating agent during artificial reproduction. External factors such as osmolality, the presence of ions (K + , Na + , Ca 2+ ), pH and temperature influence the activation of sperm motility (Dadras et al, ; Dzyuba & Cosson, ). In freshwater species, the main external factor that activates sperm motility is the reduced osmolality of the extracellular media, as previously described in cyprinids (Cosson, ).…”

Ions and osmolality on post‐thaw sperm motility activation of the endangered Brycon insignis (Characiformes)

et al. 2019

Summary The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of osmolality and the presence of ions on the activation of post‐thaw sperm motility of Brycon insignis. Sperm was frozen under a standardized methodology for this species. In experiment 1, 11 solutions were prepared with reverse osmosis (RO) water (∼0 mOsm/kg) and glucose or NaCl adjusted to an osmolality of 50, 100, 150, 200 and 250 mOsm/kg. In experiment 2, six solutions were prepared with RO and adjusted to ~100 mOsm/kg with one of the following chemicals: NaHCO3, sodium citrate (Na3C6H5O7), NaCl, KCl, CaCl2 or glucose (as ion‐free control). Post‐thaw sperm of both experiments was evaluated for motility rate, velocities (curvilinear = VCL, among others) and beat‐cross frequency (BCF). In experiment 1, sperm motility rate and velocities were higher (p < 0.05) when triggered in solutions at osmolalities from 0 to 200 mOsm/kg (62–80% motility; 139–167 µm/s) than that at 250 mOsm/kg (36–44% motility; 94–99 µm/s VCL). BCF was not affected by osmolality and varied from 19 to 24 Hz in all samples. In experiment 2, samples activated in NaHCO3, citrate, NaCl and KCl solutions yielded higher motility rates (76–85%) and BCF (24–25 Hz) compared to those activated in CaCl2 (50%; 14 Hz). Samples activated in ion‐free control solution yielded higher motility rate (87%) than those activated in NaHCO3 and in CaCl2. Curvilinear velocity was higher in samples activated in NaHCO3, citrate, KCl and control solutions (144–160 µm/s) than in those activated in CaCl2 (104 µm/s); samples activated in NaCl yielded intermediate VCL values (127 µm/s). Post‐thaw sperm achieves maximum motility rate and velocities when activated in solutions composed of sodium citrate, NaCl, KCl or glucose. Thus, post‐thaw sperm motility of B. insignis can be triggered in ionic and non‐ionic solutions at osmolality between 0 and 200 mOsm/kg. The use of solutions containing calcium, however, should be avoided.

Effects of Two Activated Milt Residence Times on Landlocked Fall Chinook Salmon Egg Survival to the Eyed Stage of Development

et al. 2021

During salmonid spawning, the amount of time required for activated milt to successfully fertilize eggs has not been well defined. This study examined the effects of two different activated milt residence times, 20 and 60 s, during production‐scale artificial spawning of 20 landlocked fall Chinook Salmon Oncorhynchus tshawytscha. Mean (SE) survival to the eyed stage of egg development was 29.2% (5.5) in the eggs that were subjected to the 20‐s milt residence time, which was not significantly different from the 32.3% (5.7) survival rate for eggs with the 60‐s residence time. There was considerable variation in egg survival among the individual female spawns, ranging from near 0% to 76.7%. These production‐scale results indicate that activated milt residence times as low as 20 s can be used during the landlocked fall Chinook Salmon spawning, with no significant effect on egg survival to the eyed stage of development.
