The present study investigated the effects of sequential collection of milt, time of post-mortem storage and anesthesia on rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) sperm motility parameters (using computer-assisted sperm analysis – CASA) as well as seminal plasma osmolality and sperm concentration. The post-mortem storage and time of anesthesia altered motility characteristics of rainbow trout sperm to different extents. The moderate impact of time of anesthesia was manifested in a shortened duration of sperm motility after 10 min exposure of fish to anesthetic. The prolonged post-mortem storage (≥40–60 min), in addition to lowering sperm motility duration, also significantly influenced sperm motility parameters, such as sperm velocities, percentage of motile sperm and sperm trajectory parameters. These results clearly demonstrate that when milt from sacrificed fish is used for sperm motility studies, the time of post-mortem storage significantly alters sperm motility characteristics. Since sperm motility rate and swimming velocity could predict fertilizing ability, detrimental effects of prolonged post-mortem storage may lead to reduced fertilization success. Sperm concentration and seminal plasma osmolality were lower in the first fractions and increased with successive collections of milt. It suggests the presence of urine contamination of the first milt fractions which were collected by stripping. Therefore, testing of sperm concentration and/or seminal plasma osmolality should be mandatory while handling stored milt.  相似文献

The aims of this study were to describe the fresh spermatozoon ultrastructure using scanning and transmission electron microscopy and to improve the sperm cryopreservation methodology for the freshwater fish pirapitinga Brycon nattereri. Extenders (BTS? and NaCl), straw volumes (0.5 and 4.0 mL), thawing temperatures (30 and 60 °C) and activating agents (0.29% NaCl and 1% NaHCO3) were tested. Methylglycol was used as a cryoprotectant agent and sperm was frozen in nitrogen vapour (dry‐shipper). Post‐thawed sperm motility rate, motility quality (score 0=no movement; 5=rapidly swimming spermatozoa), duration of motility and spermatozoon morphology were evaluated. Fresh spermatozoon was 35.06 μm long, the head was ovoid (2.00 × 1.22 μm) with no acrosome, the midpiece was 2.15 μm long and the flagellum was 30.90 μm long with the typical 9+2 axoneme arrangement. Post‐thawed sperm motility rate (70–79% motile sperm), motility quality (score 3.1–3.7) and morphology (9.3–11.6% abnormal spermatozoa) were not affected by any of the parameters tested. The duration of sperm motility was longer when triggered in 1% NaHCO3 (392–1031 s) compared with 0.29% NaCl (144–338 s). Brycon nattereri sperm cryopreserved under the conditions described above yields over 70% motility and should last long enough to fertilize oocytes, even after 2 years of freezing.  相似文献

The role of the seminal fluid antioxidant system in protection against damage to spermatozoa during in vitro sperm storage is unclear. This study investigated the effect of in vitro storage of sterlet Acipenser ruthenus spermatozoa together with seminal fluid for 36 h at 4 °C on spermatozoon motility rate and curvilinear velocity, thiobarbituric acid reactive substance level, and components of enzyme and non-enzyme antioxidant system (superoxide dismutase and catalase activity and uric acid concentration) in seminal fluid. Spermatozoon motility parameters after sperm storage were significantly decreased, while the level of thiobarbituric acid reactive substances, activity of superoxide dismutase and catalase, and uric acid concentration did not change. Our findings suggest that the antioxidant system of sterlet seminal fluid is effective in preventing oxidative stress during short-term sperm storage and prompt future investigations of changes in spermatozoon homeostasis and in spermatozoon plasma membrane structure which are other possible reasons of spermatozoon motility deterioration upon sperm storage.  相似文献

All evidence to date suggest that sperm motility is the primary determinant of fertilization success in externally fertilizing fish species. Ovarian fluid, which comprises 10–30% of the total egg volume in salmonids, enhances sperm motility with respect to swimming speed, trajectory and the duration of movement. It was recently demonstrated that there is individual variability in sperm motility enhancing potential of ovarian fluid of particular females. In the present study we examined the effect of particular ovarian fluids collected from 31 females on the sperm motility parameters of one male of rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) using computer-assisted sperm analysis (CASA). During our experiment we also monitored the pH of ovarian fluid. We found that particular fluids differed in the ability to activate spermatozoa; sperm remained immotile in four fluids and exhibited 50–100% motility in 27 samples. The percentage of motile sperm, velocity and duration of movement positively correlated with ovarian fluid pH (r2 = 0.34–0.62). These data strongly suggest that the pH of the ovarian fluid is the primary determinant of sperm motility in rainbow trout under natural conditions of fertilization.  相似文献

In this study, the effects of spermiation time are investigated on milt quality of Russian sturgeon over the course of the spawning season. The milt samples were collected from three broodstock batches at three time points including: the beginning, middle and at the end of the spawning season. According to the results, the milt quality parameters including pH, sperm density, spermatocrit, duration of sperm motility and percentage of sperm motility were significantly low in the beginning and end of season than middle of season. The values of milt quality parameters in the middle of season were as follows: (motility percentage: 69.6 ± 3.5, motility duration: 460.3 ± 37.2 s, sperm density: 8.7 ± 0.4 × 109, milt volume: 86.3 ± 8.1 and milt pH: 8.3 ± 0.15). Significant positive correlations were also found between milt pH and sperm motility as well as between sperm density and spermatocrit. In conclusion, our study showed that the middle of season is the best time for collection of milt with appropriate quality in Russian sturgeon. Selection of milt with good quality is necessary aim to cryopreservation of spermatozoa in endangered fish species including Russian sturgeon.  相似文献

The high sperm density, together with the short spermatozoa swimming time, makes European eel sperm manipulation and assessment for quality difficult. Two diluting media (K15 and K30) previously designed for Japanese eel sperm were tested. After 24 h, European eel sperm showed significant reduction in the percentage of motile spermatozoa after activation and different motility parameters (VAP, angular velocity; VCL, curvilinear velocity; VSL, straight line velocity; BCF, beating cross frequency), concluding that these media are not suitable to preserve the sperm of this species. After a hormonal treatment to induce spermiation, sperm volume, density and motility were recorded at weekly samplings. The variation of the osmolality (325–330 mOsm kg−1), pH (8.4–8.6) and the ionic composition (concentration of Na+, K+, Mg2+ and Ca2+) of the seminal plasma were registered. Physio-chemical results were related with sperm quality throughout the treatment, to determine which must be the suitable characteristics of one extender for the sperm of this species, and to find the best conditions to obtain suitable cryopreservation media for European eel sperm. K+ concentration increased, while Ca2+ and Mg2+ concentrations showed a progressive reduction in correlation with the sperm quality improvement. Na+ showed a decreasing, but not significant tendency. P1 and P2 freezing media were designed considering the physio-chemical parameters as well as the ionic composition shown by the best quality sperm samples, and then compared with the previously described solutions, TNK and K30. Sperm quality was determined, checking the percentage of motile spermatozoa and motility parameters using computer-assisted sperm analysis (CASA) software. Samples were frozen after dilution (1:5, 1:20, 1:100) in different freezing media supplemented with 10% dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO). After thawing, samples frozen with low dilution ratio (1:5) in TNK and P1 media showed higher, although not significant, spermatozoa survival (35.5 ± 14.5 and 36.6 ± 6.7%). The addition of l-α-phosphatidylcholine to the media seems to have a positive effect, as reported in the Japanese eel.  相似文献

The Ionic and Osmotic Factors Controlling Motility of Fish Spermatozoa   总被引：4，自引：0，他引：4  
This review presents actual knowledge about energetic, ionic, osmotic and gaseous control of fish sperm motility and its duration. Right after they are activated, fish spermatozoa of most species swim for a short period of time, in the range of one to several minutes. What determines the activation process? Is it due to the new ionic, gaseous and/or osmotic environment? Why is the duration of motility so short? Is it resulting from a fast exhaustion of energy stores (ATP, ADP, AMP, PCr) combined with the above-mentioned ionic/osmotic stress leading to morphological alterations? The motility criteria (flagellar beat frequency, head displacement velocity, flagellar waves morphology, etc.) used to characterize fish sperm movement and sperm flagella will be described. Most parameters change very rapidly during the brief motility period of fish sperm. Then will be considered the main environmental factors, ionic and/or osmotic signals, responsible of the activation of fish sperm motility. Then the metabolic compounds involved in cell energetics will be considered as their concentrations also rapidly change during the motility phase. An additional feature will then be discussed concerning the mechanisms by which fish sperm cell can be revived for a second motility round at the end of the first motility period. A model is proposed to explain how external osmolarity can control internal ionic composition, the latter being the key factor controlling flagellar activity.  相似文献

In Salmonidae, subordinate males are exposed to higher risks of sperm competition than dominant males and thus are expected to improve the sperm characteristics (sperm concentrations, sperm velocity and sperm longevity). In this study, we investigated the relationships between body size and secondary sexual characters (breeding colour, hump height and snout length), and sperm characteristics of one‐year‐old (newly matured) Dolly Varden char. Small males displayed higher sperm concentrations than large males. Moreover, males with dull breeding colours, but not with lesser snout length and hump height, displayed an increased sperm velocity compared to males with bright colours, suggesting a trade‐off between sperm quantity and the investment in breeding colour. In addition, sperm longevity decreased as sperm swimming velocity increased. These findings indicate that small males with dull breeding colours improve the quantity and quality of their sperm to a great extent to enhance their chances of reproductive success.  相似文献

Five hormonal treatments with human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) were tested for the induction of maturation and spermiation in male farmed eels. The main aim was to optimize previously used hormonal treatments to achieve shorter induction treatments, longer spermiation periods and/or higher sperm quality. Fish treated for just 3 weeks (treatment E) or until the onset of spermiation (treatment C) showed the worst results, while the treatment consisting of weekly administration of 1.5 IU hCG g?1 fish (treatment A) induced the highest percentage of spermiating males, the highest number of sperm samples and sperm volumes and densities similar to the rest of the treatments (B: half hormone dosage, or D: biweekly administration). Evaluation of the sperm quality was performed by computer‐assisted sperm analysis (CASA), considering the percentage of total motile spermatozoa, the percentage of fast and medium‐velocity spermatozoa, as well as different motility parameters. Sperm samples from A‐D groups showed between 44% and 54% motile spermatozoa, and between 10% and 15% fast spermatozoa, while samples from E‐treated males showed 0% motile cells. No significant differences were found in the spermatozoa straight line velocity (VSL), curvilinear velocity (VCL) or the angular velocity (VAP), neither spermatozoa beating cross frequency (BCF) between A–D groups.  相似文献

Heavy metals are highly toxic elements that are present in the environment, especially in water. Mercury chloride (HgCl2) stands out among these compounds because of its strong ability to induce damage to any tissue with which it comes into contact. The gametes of spawning aquatic animals, such as fish, are susceptible to such damage. Thus, our objective was to evaluate the toxic potential of HgCl2 in the capacitation and activation of Rhamdia quelen sperm. Semen was collected from seven males and activated in 58 mM sodium chloride (NaCl) containing 0 (control), 4?10, 7?10, 7?9, and 7?8 M HgCl2. The evaluated variables included motility, vigor, motility time, morphology, membrane integrity, membrane fluidity, mitochondrial functionality, production of reactive oxygen species (ROS), and DNA fragmentation. All evaluated HgCl2 concentrations increased primary pathologies and reduced motility, vigor and motility time. Damage to membrane integrity and fluidity began occurring at a concentration of 7?10 M HgCl2. These results indicate that HgCl2 has a toxic effect on different sites of fish spermatozoa and that sperm motility decreases after exposure to HgCl2, impairing sperm capacitation and activation.  相似文献

In our study, we used a full factorial analysis of variance design to examine the effects of diluent [Mounib's sucrose‐based diluent+hen's egg yolk (EY) and Hanks' balanced salt solution (HBSS)+EY], freezing rate (?2.5, ?5.0 and ?7.5 °C min?1) and thawing rate (2.5, 5.0 and 7.5 °C min?1) on motility and velocity of Atlantic cod sperm cryopreserved in 2.5 mL cryogenic straws. We found that post‐thaw sperm performance was strongly influenced by the presence of higher‐order interactions of the factors we tested. For all models broken down by diluent, the 2.5 °C min?1 thawing rate had the lowest sperm motility recovery index. Mounib's sucrose‐based diluent+EY had the highest motility recovery index at all thawing rates. Mean per cent motility for fresh sperm (87.7±2.9%) was not significantly different than of sperm cryopreserved using Mounib's sucrose‐based diluent+EY, frozen at ?2.5 °C min?1 and thawed at 5.0 °C min?1 (77.1±2.9%). For Mounib's sucrose‐based diluent+EY, velocity was significantly higher with sperm thawed at 7.5 °C min?1, than sperm thawed at 2.5 °C min?1, while thawing rate had no effect for HBSS+EY. Our findings have implications for cod mariculture and aiding in conservation efforts for a dominant marine fish species.  相似文献

The characterization of sperm motility patterns, particularly post‐activation changes, is the first step in setting up species‐specific protocols involving gamete management and embryo production, for both aquaculture and laboratory research purposes. This study is aimed at the characterization of the sperm motility pattern of the purple sea urchin Paracentrotus lividus. Semen samples were individually diluted in artificial sea water for sperm motility activation. They were then incubated at 18°C for up to 24 hr. Motility was evaluated on dilution, and 1 hr, 3 hr and 24 hr after activation, by computerized analyser. The semen fertilization capacity was also evaluated. Under our experimental conditions (dilution 1:1,000 in artificial sea water plus 0.05% BSA, 18°C, in the dark), P. lividus semen remained viable for up to 24 hr, as the total motile sperm and the fertilization percentages did not change significantly during the incubation time. In contrast, the mean curvilinear velocity and the subpopulation of rapid sperm (those having a curvilinear velocity > 100 µm/s) slightly but significantly decreased after 3 hr, thereafter remaining unchanged for up to 24 hr after activation. In conclusion, our results show that diluted P. lividus semen can be used for a longer period than that of most fish species, with no need for motility inhibition procedures, supporting its wider use in laboratory research. In addition, the development of artificial fertilization protocols for aquaculture production is simplified by long‐lasting sperm motility.  相似文献

鱼类精子质量评价研究进展   总被引：4，自引：2，他引：4       下载免费PDF全文
在鱼类人工繁育中,研究者主要关心的是卵子质量,长期以来对精子质量未引起足够重视.而精子质量同样会影响繁育效果的重要因素.鱼类精子质量的评价指标有多种,如精子活力、运动时间、密度、形态、受精率和生理功能等.其中最传统的评价指标是精子活力,其测定方便,能较准确地预测受精率.将精子运动时间和活力综合考虑可更好地反映精子的运动能力.而精子受精率则是精子质量的直接反映,但会受到卵质等因素的影响.质膜完整性、线粒体功能、染色质结构完整性等可体现精子的质量,但测定方法较繁琐.近年来,鱼类精子质量检测技术迅速发展,计算机辅助精子分析(CASA)、流式细胞术(FCM)分析、低渗肿胀(HOS)、单细胞凝胶单泳(SCGE)等技术的建立,使得测定指标更多样、客观、准确.本文逐一介绍了评价精子质量的各种指标,并对各指标的测定方法、测定原理、国内外研究情况进行详细叙述,旨为我国鱼类精子质量评价研究提供背景资料.  相似文献

This study investigated the effect of 0.25–5 mM K+, Ca2+, and Mg2+ on sperm motility in the perch, Perca fluviatilis. In 75 mM NaCl, the used motility-activating solution, motility rate, and swimming velocity decreased within the first 4 min after activation, and the rate of locally motile sperm increased. Thereafter, the motility parameters remained constant for periods >20 min. Based on the decrease in sperm motility, two types of semen samples could be distinguished. Semen samples of type I retained a high motility rate of >65 % after 20 min, and the rate of locally motile sperm was <20 %. In semen samples of type II, the motility rate decreased to values <30 % after 20 min, and the rate of locally motile sperm exceeded >50 %. Ca2+ and Mg2+ concentrations of 0.25–0.5 mM had no effect on the sperm motility parameters 10 s after activation, while 0.25 mM K+ increased the swimming velocity. K+, Ca2+, and Mg2+ concentrations ≥1.5 mM had suppressive effects on the sperm motility 10 s after activation. No differences were found between the two semen types. Twenty minutes after activation, type I semen was not affected by the tested cations. On the contrary, 0.25–2.5 mM K+, 0.25 mM Mg2+, and 0.25–2.5 mM Ca2+ significantly increased the sperm motility rate and/or sperm velocity of type II semen. Therefore, supplementation of saline solution with cations might stabilize the motility of perch sperm, which can be a benefit for experimental purposes and for specific handling procedures in aquaculture.  相似文献

Understanding the effects of environmental factors in sperm qualities will be helpful in the development of optimal artificial reproduction methods and contributes towards the knowledge base of better short‐ and long‐term fish semen preservation conditions The objectives of this study were to determine properties and activities of wild‐caught striped jewfish Stereolepis doederleini sperm contaminated with blood or seawater and compare them with data reported in the literature on other freshwater and marine fish species, for effective short‐ and long‐term storage of fish semen. Overall, we observed that the sodium, chloride, glucose, total protein concentrations of normal sperm were not significantly different from blood‐ or seawater‐contaminated sperm. The salinity and osmolality concentration of sperm contaminated with blood were lower than sperm contaminated with seawater and were not significantly different from normal sperm. In addition, the spermatozoa motility (SM) and duration of spermatozoa motility (DSM) in blood‐contaminated sperm were higher than seawater‐contaminated sperm and also not significantly different from normal sperm. The best condition for SM and DSM in normal sperm was dilution rate of 1:50. Sperm was immotile in distilled water, and cationic factors were shown to stimulate the initiation of spermatozoa activation. The maximum SM and DSM were observed in solution containing 0.4 M NaCl, 0.6 M KCl, 0.6 M CaCl2 and 0.4 M MgCl2. This study provides some basic and important knowledge about striped jewfish sperm sensitivity to a cationic condition. In this regard, Na+ is the major inhibitory factor of spermatozoa motility in this fish species.  相似文献

Sperm cryopreservation has led to transcendental changes in the reproductive biotechnology of both mammals and fish, and is a basic tool for animal improvement. However, these protocols generate damage to cell structure and physiology, altering sperm function as a result of cryoinjuries during freezing and thawing. This review is a compilation of the techniques developed and standardised for assessing sperm function in cryopreserved fish semen. Recent studies have analysed sperm function objectively, applying cellular and molecular techniques to characterise cryodamage. The Computer Assisted Sperm Analysis system has facilitated the assessment of motility, while electron microscopy (SEM and TEM) and cryo‐microscopy have made it possible to study sperm morphology and ultra‐structure. The effects of cryodamage on nuclear DNA have also been analysed using various methods, including the comet Fluorescence in situ Hybridization test, TUNEL, Sperm Chromatin Structure Assay, specific DNA sequences using RT‐PCR and specific genes by qPCR. The latter technique is used to study the mitochondrial genome (mtDNA), together with some candidate genes which are associated with bioenergy activity and sperm motility. Other parameters assessed are mitochondrial membrane potential and ATP content using high performance liquid chromatography, nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometry and cell respiration. All this information makes it possible to establish study and assessment criteria for cryopreserved fish spermatozoa. This work focuses on the use of technologies to study of quality of fish spermatozoa during cryopreservation.  相似文献

We developed a simple dry shipper method for cryopreserving the sperm of Scombridae fish in outdoor environments. First, we undertook a preliminary study to optimize the sperm cryopreservation conditions using bullet tuna, Auxis rochei (Risso, 1810) sperm. We found that the optimum cryomedium contained 90% foetal bovine serum (FBS) or 300 mM trehalose as an external cryoprotectant and 10% dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) as an internal cryoprotectant. Under these optimized conditions, the post‐thaw sperm had a duration of motility of 500 s and a motility rate of >70%. We then performed practical trials of the optimized protocol in various outdoor environments (e.g., fishing boats and ports) using the sperm of five Scombridae species: chub mackerel, Scomber japonicus (Houttuyn, 1782); blue mackerel, S. australasicus (Cuvier, 1832); skipjack tuna, Katsuwonus pelamis (Linnaeus, 1758); longtail tuna Thunnus tonggol, (Bleeker, 1851) and Pacific bluefin tuna, T. orientalis (Temminck & Schlegel, 1844). The post‐thaw sperm of all five of these species had a duration of motility of 650 s and a motility rate of >70%, indicating that this simple method can be used to obtain high‐quality cryopreserved sperm of various Scombridae species in outdoor environments.  相似文献
