The spermatozoa of oviparous fish, such as feral carp (Cyprinus carpio), are immotile in the presence of semen plasma or isotonic solutions, and to obtain good motility, they must be diluted with suitable medium. The objective of this study was to identify the best activating solution for feral carp sperm. Sperm motilities were compared in the new activating solution (a): (50 mM NaCl, 30 mM KCl, 30 mM Tris, pH = 8.5) and activating solution (b): (50 mM NaCl, 40 mM KCl, 30 mM Tris, pH = 8.5) based on effect of pH with everyone of Na+ and K+ ions versus four other activating solutions Billard’s saline solution, Poupard’s saline solution, distilled water and hatchery water that is routinely used for extending carp semen. Our results showed that maximum total motility period and percentage of motile sperm were seen in selected saline solution (a). The present study describes an activating solution that prolongs feral carp sperm motility.  相似文献

The effects of different carbon dioxide (CO2) levels on the short-term storage of semen samples from hatchery-produced steelhead (Oncorhynchus mykiss) were evaluated. Sperm motility and fertilizing ability were significantly reduced following 4 h incubation under a relatively modest (0.9 kPa = 1%) amount of CO2. The dose-dependent reductions, however, were not the result of cell death as sperm viability was unaltered even at the highest (5.2 kPa = 5.6%) CO2 exposures. Reductions in sperm motility and fertilizing ability were reversible. Although previous work has indicated a direct relationship between salmonid sperm motility and sperm ATP content, the inhibitory effects of CO2 on sperm motility were not the result of reduced sperm ATP levels. Decreasing the pH of the seminal fluid (to below 7.5) significantly reduced sperm motility. However, this effect was only observed after prolonged (4 h) exposure; short-term (1 min) exposure to this lowered pH did not alter sperm motility. Moreover, acetazolamide, a carbonic anhydrase inhibitor, attenuated the inhibitory effects of CO2 on sperm motility. These results suggest that CO2 inhibits steelhead sperm motility and therefore fertility in a dose-dependent manner, by reversibly lowering intracellular pH.  相似文献

Sperm quality tests on fish are classically used for evaluating cryopreservation procedures, and they are also promising to assess aquatic toxicity and biomarkers of xenobiotic effects on reproduction. Osmotic shock from the storage medium is one of the main factors affecting sperm quality during evaluation. Thus, the objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of different osmolalities (240–460 mOsm/kg) for at least 4 days on the sperm quality parameters of the viviparous fish Jenynsia multidentata. The level of significance was (P < 0.05). The plasma osmolality of J. multidentata is 326 ± 3.9 mOsm/kg. The motility of fresh semen was higher in osmolalities of 280 and 300 mOsm/kg but did not differ between osmolalities from 240 to 320 mOsm/kg. Above 380 mOsm/kg, the motility observed was 0 %. Over the time period studied motility increased with increasing osmolality, and the most constant and long-lasting rates were between 300 and 320 mOsm/kg. On the 4th day of evaluation, higher membrane integrity rates were observed between 280 and 360 mOsm/kg, higher mitochondrial membrane potential was observed between 300 and 460 mOsm/kg, and higher DNA integrity rates were observed between 260 and 380 mOsm/kg. Moreover, osmolalities ≥460 and ≤240 resulted in the lowest motility and DNA integrity levels. Over 4 days, the plasma membrane integrity was significantly lower at ≤260 and ≥400 mOsm/kg, and the mitochondrial membrane potential was significantly lower only in osmolalities ≤240 mOsm/kg. Therefore, we conclude that for sperm quality preservation in J. multidentata, an osmolality of 300–320 mOsm/kg of the most suitable diluent is necessary. Furthermore, we conclude that the storage of sperm in a hyposmotic (<260 mOsm/kg) or hyperosmotic (>400 mOsm/kg) solution affects not only motility but also other sperm quality parameters.  相似文献

The common carp, Cyprinus carpio L., sperm motility parameters were analyzed by using computer‐assisted sperm analysis system. The percentage of motile sperm (MOT, %), progressively motile sperm (PRG, %), curvilinear velocity (VCL, µm/sec), average path velocity (VAP, µm/sec), the wobbling index (WOB, %), movement linearity (LIN, %), beat cross frequency (BCF, Hz), and amplitude of lateral head displacement (ALH, µm) were determined. Five activation solutions (As) were used to activate sperm movement. As 1 solution: 68 mM NaCl, 50 mM urea, 0.5% bovine serum albumin (BSA), pH: 7.7, 181 mOsm/kg; As 2 buffer: 100 mM NaCl, 10 mM Tris, 0.5% BSA, pH: 9.0, 199 mOsm/kg; As 3 solution: 86 mM NaCl, 0.5% BSA, pH: 7.4, 167 mOsm/kg; As 4 buffer: 5 mM KCl, 45 mM NaCl, 30 mM Tris, 0.5%, pH: 8.0, 160 mOsm/kg; and As 5 solution: distilled water with the addition of 0.5% BSA, pH: 7.3, <3 mOsm/kg. Among five tested solutions, a buffer with a pH of 9.0 and osmolality of approximately 200 mOsm/kg (As 2) was the most suitable. After its activation, a significant increase in MOT and ALH values was observed, which can be of importance to the effectiveness of egg fertilization .  相似文献

Zebrafish sperm cryopreservation is a fundamental methodology to manage and back-up valuable genetic resources like transgenic and mutant strains. Cryopreservation usually requires liquid nitrogen for storage, which is expensive and hazardous. Our objective was to evaluate if electric ultrafreezers (??150 °C) are a viable alternative for zebrafish sperm storage. Zebrafish sperm was cryopreserved in the same conditions (??20 °C/min), stored either in liquid nitrogen or in an ultrafreezer, and thawed after 1 week, 1 month, and 3 months. Sperm motility, membrane integrity, and fertilization ability were assessed. There were no significant differences in motility and hatching rate throughout storage time. Additionally, we aimed at understanding if cryopreservation directly in an ultrafreezer (??66 °C/min) could improve post-thaw sperm quality. Freezing at ??20 °C/min was performed as before, and compared to samples cryopreserved with a fast cooling rate by placing directly in an ultrafreezer (??66 °C/min). Sperm quality was assessed according to motility, viability, DNA fragmentation, and apoptosis (annexin V). The ??66 °C/min cooling rate showed significantly higher membrane and DNA integrity, and lower number of cells in late apoptosis in comparison to the other treatments. This study showed that zebrafish sperm cryopreservation and storage in an ultrafreezer system is possible and a fast cooling rate directly in ultrafreezer improves post-thaw sperm quality.  相似文献

This study tested KUROKURA solution (Kurokura et al., 1984, Aquaculture 37, 267–274) and its modifications (by increasing NaCl content to 160, 180 and 200 mM) on immobilizing properties for sampling and short-term preservation of potential motility of tench spermatozoa. The immobilizing solution is used because, when collected, the sperm of most samples is contaminated by urine, causing spermatozoa to be of poor quality, with low motilities and velocities (almost 0), thus resulting in a worsened fertilization and hatching rate. Sperm was sampled with a syringe containing an immobilizing solution (IS), allowing an IS:sperm ratio of 2:1, under aerobic conditions at 0–4°C. This sperm solution was stored for 10 h and untreated sperm was collected prior to fertilization as a control. Spermatozoa quality was evaluated for the cell motility and velocity parameters and also for fertilization ability and hatching rate. Results obtained for tench sperm motility, velocity, fertilization and hatching rate showed that only sperm collected in the various immobilizing solutions can be successfully used for artificial insemination and preservation after 10 h at 0–4°C. The best immobilizing solution was found to be KUROKURA 180 (180 mM NaCl, 2.68 mM KCl, 1.36 mM CaCl2· 2H2O and 2.38 mM NaHCO3), giving a fertility and hatching rate of 41%, with no change in rates after 10 h storage of sperm. Control sperm without immobilizing solution showed a fertilization and hatching rate of only 6–7%.  相似文献

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

This study reports on the spermatological properties, and on the development of a protocol for refrigerator storage (4°C) of Labeo calbasu (Hamilton, 1822) sperm for artificial breeding. Volume, motility, concentration and pH of the freshly collected sperm were 2.21 ± 0.53 (μL g?1 of fish weight) (mean ± SD), 95 ± 1 (%), 1.93 ± 0.44 × 109 (cells mL?1) and 7.56 ± 0.17 respectively. Sperm activation was evaluated at different osmolalities of NaCl solution, and motility ceased completely when osmolality of the extender was ≥287 mOsmol kg?1. Sperm retained motility for 24, 72 and 108 h, after refrigerator storage when sperm were undiluted, suspended in Alsever's solution and suspended in Alsever's solution containing 5% methanol respectively. Fertilization rate of fresh eggs with sperm stored at 4°C in Alsever's solution and Alsever's solution containing 5% methanol was 77% and 60% with a hatching rate of 60% and 43% respectively. The fertilization and hatching success of the stored sperm suggests potential to use refrigeration for transporting genetic material to hatcheries for artificial breeding of L. calbasu in Bangladesh.  相似文献

The present study was to evaluate the effects of six antioxidants on frozen-thawed sperm motility, viability, membrane integrity and mitochondrial function in red seabream (Pagrus major) by computer-assisted sperm analysis system and flow cytometry, respectively. All the parameters tested in this study were determined using one-way ANOVA and identified using the SNK test (P < 0.05). The results demonstrated that on the first day, the highest motility and longevity occurred in 100 mM trehalose (78.34 ± 3.41 %, 29 ± 4.00 days) and 50 mM taurine (77.46 ± 1.54 %, 29.33 ± 4.04 days), followed by 25 mM vitamin C (79.03 ± 5.37 %, 17 ± 1.00 days), 25 mM vitamin E (69.64 ± 1.64 %, 27.67 ± 1.53 days) and 25 mM vitamin A (78.89 ± 2.81 %, 9.33 ± 1.53 days), which were all higher than frozen-thawed sperm without antioxidant (control) (66.80 ± 5.55, 5.67 ± 1.15 days). Especially, the percentages of class A sperm with the addition of 100 mM trehalose (40.39 ± 5.20 %) and 50 mM taurine (37.78 ± 3.22 %) were significantly improved compared to the control (19.63 ± 5.44 %). The viability of all groups on the third and sixth day showed a similar trend. Moreover, during the 4 °C storage process, the decrease of frozen-thawed sperm motility was closely associated with the decrease in membrane integrity and mitochondrial function. In conclusion, the present study indicated that antioxidant (100 mM trehalose and 50 mM taurine) provided the most pronounced protective effect in improving frozen-thawed quality of red seabream sperm. The addition of antioxidant may be capable of scavenging the ROS generated during the cryopreservation process and 4 °C storage.  相似文献

Effects of NH3 concentration in sea water and pH of sea water on the motility of spermatozoa obtained from testes were examined in the Japanese pearl oyster Percent motility at 30 s after dilution increased with increasing NH3 concentration in sea water from 0.75–2.0 mM. When spermatozoa were diluted with sea water containing 0.75 mM NH3, which is widely used as the insemination fluid in the hatchery of this species, the percent motility increased with time elapsed after dilution, and peaked at 5 min. For spermatozoa diluted with sea water containing 2.0 mM NH3, the percent motility increased rapidly and peaked at 30 s. The pH of sea water increased with increasing NH3 concentration from 8.2 (0 mM NH3) to 9.9 (5.0 mM NH3). When spermatozoa were diluted with artificial sea water at various pH (buffered without NH3 at 6.0–10.0), only spermatozoa diluted with artificial sea water of pH 10.0 were motile, and the percent was considerably lower than those in ammonical sea water. These results indicate that sea water containing 2.0 mM NH3 is a suitable solution for evaluating sperm motility, and that NH3 and/or ammonium ions may activate sperm motility in this species.  相似文献

The aim of the present study was to determine the effect of various cryoprotectants on post-thaw sperm quality and fertilizing capacity of cryopreserved scaly carp (Cyprinus carpio) semen. The present study focused on freezing of scaly carp sperm utilizing a practical and inexpensive protocol for aquaculture. Semen was diluted with Kurokura’s extender composing 3.6 g/l NaCl, 10 g/l KCl, 0.22 g/l CaCl2, 0.08 g/l MgCl2 and 0.2 g/l NaHCO3. The extender contained three different cryoprotectants (DMSO, DMA and egg yolk) at ratios of 5, 10 and 15 %. Semen was placed into 0.25-ml straws and exposed to liquid nitrogen vapor (?120 °C) using an insulated box with an adjustable tray for 10 min and then plunged into liquid nitrogen (?196 °C) tank. The thawing process was performed in a water bath at 40 °C for 10 s. The results indicated that type of cryoprotectants and their concentrations are rather effective in scaly carp sperm cryopreservation on post-thaw sperm quality, while they are very important in order to obtain high fertilization rates. The highest fertilization rate was determined as 96.4 ± 0.15 % with 15 % egg yolk, while the highest hatching rate was determined as 99.3 ± 0.80 with 15 % DMA. In conclusion, the applied cryopreservation method for scaly carp sperm is suitable to fertilize high amounts of eggs.  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

The exposure of freshly spawned, immotile carp sperm to hypoosmotic media triggers the initiation of calcium-dependent flagellar motility. Intracellular calcium concentration has been thought to be the critical component in motility initiation, possibly acting through a novel signalling pathway. The sensitivity of sperm cells to changes of osmolality of the environment raises the question whether a mechanoregulated osmosensitive calcium pathway is involved in the activation mechanism of carp sperm motility. The sperm cells are in a depolarized state in the seminal plasma (Ψ = –2.6 ± 3 mV) and they hyperpolarize upon hypoosmosis-induced activation of motility (Ψ = –29 ± 4 mV). The intracellular sodium [Na+]i, potassium [K+]i and calcium [Ca2+]i ion concentrations were determined in quiescent cells, and at 20, 60 and 300 s after activation. The [Na+]i and [K+]i of the quiescent cells were similar to the [Na+]e and [K+]e of the seminal plasma. Following hypoosmotic shock-induced motility, both [Na+]i and [K+]i decreased to one-fourth of the initial concentration. The [Ca2+]i doubled at initiation of the motility of the sperm cells and remained unchanged for 5 min. Bepridil (50–250 μM), a blocker of the Na+/Ca2+ exchanger, blocked carp sperm motility reversibly. Gadolinium, a blocker of stretch-activated channels (10–20 μM), inhibited sperm motility in a dose-dependent manner and its effect was reversible. Hypoosmotic shock fluidized the membrane and gadolinium treatment made it more rigid in both quiescent cells and hypotonic shock treated but immotile sperm cells. Based on these observations, it is suggested that, besides the well-known function of potassium and calcium channels, stretch-induced conformational changes of membrane proteins are also involved in the sperm activation mechanism of common carp.  相似文献

The effects of extracellular ions on the acquisition and maintenance of the potential for motility in the spermatozoa of the ayu, Plecoglossus altivelis Temminck et Schlegel (Osmeridae), were examined. Testicular spermatozoa and milt spermatozoa were obtained from fully matured males and diluted with buffered solution (BS, 20 mM HEPES–NaOH, pH 7.5). Testicular spermatozoa showed a significantly low rate of motility (0.8 ± 0.4%), whereas milt spermatozoa showed a high rate (89.4 ± 2.1%). The spermatozoa were incubated with various isotonic media for 2 h, diluted with BS, and changes in the rates of motility were then compared. When incubated for 2 h with artificial seminal plasma (ASP), corresponding in terms of ionic constituents to seminal plasma buffered at pH 8.0, both spermatozoa showed a high rate of motility. Testicular spermatozoa acquired and milt spermatozoa maintained the potential for motility in response to the HCO3– ion concentrations (between 0 and 20 mM) in the ASP. The differences in the pH of the ASP had a significant effect on the acquisition and maintenance of the potential for motility, and spermatozoa showed the highest rate of motility with the ASP at pH 8.0 and 8.5. These results suggest that the quality of milt in the ayu can be regulated by controlling the concentration of bicarbonate and the pH of the incubating media.  相似文献

Spermatozoa concentration, ionic composition, osmolality, glucose and total protein contents of seminal plasma and sperm motility were determined in Barbus sharpeyi (Cyprinidae, Teleosotei). Spermatozoa concentration ranged from 9.77 to 20.20 × 109 spermatozoa mL?1. Osmolality (mOsmol kg?1) and ionic contents (mM L?1) of the seminal plasma were 274.5±9.0, 70.0±3.4 Na+, 28.8±0.9 K+, 101.7±3.1 Cl?, 0.9±0.1 Mg2+ and 2.1±0.1 Ca2+ respectively. Total protein and glucose were 5.3±0.2 g L?1 and 76.7±4.3 mM L?1 respectively. Sperm motility was initiated in a hypo‐osmotic condition, composed of either an ionic (KCl or NaCl) or a non‐ionic (sucrose) activation medium. Duration of sperm motility was very short: <2 min after activation in distilled water. Percentage of motile spermatozoa was significantly higher in an activation medium containing NaCl compared with that of distilled water. An activating medium containing NaCl or KCl higher than 150 mM or sucrose higher than 275 mM totally inhibited the activation of sperm motility. Immediately after sperm activation, wave(s) propagated along the flagellum, but waves were restricted to the proximal part of the flagellum (close to the head) at 1 min post activation. Studied characteristics in the present study were compared with those of other cyprinids for understanding inter‐species differences.  相似文献

To aid in artificial spawning of sciaenid fishes, the present authors developed techniques to collect, handle and cryopreserve sperm from red drum, Sciaenops ocellatus L. Sperm were collected by removing and slicing the testis, and adding Hanks' balanced salt solution (HBSS) or NaCl solution (each at 200-400 mOsm kg?1) as an extender. Sperm were activated with 800 mOsm kg?1 artificial sea water (ASW) to characterize motility. Sperm reached maximum motility (highest percentage motility observed for that sample) within 8 ± 1 s (mean ± SD) and remained at maximum motility for 33 ± 4 s. Sperm were exposed to graded osmotic pressures of ASW (8-800 mOsm kg?1) to determine the range of osmolalities that elicited motility. Threshold activation (defined as ～10% motility) occurred at 351 ± 4 mOsm kg?1 and complete activation occurred at 539 ± 2 mOsm kg?1. Sperm stored at 200 mOsm kg?1 retained motility for up to 13 days. Dimethyl sulphoxide (DMSO) was used as a cryoprotectant at concentrations ranging from 7.5% to 15% (v:v) in HBSS (200 mOsm kg?1). There were no significant differences among post-thaw motilities of sperm cryopreserved at any concentration of DMSO. Sperm thawed on the benchtop at 21°C had lower post-thaw motility than did sperm thawed at 10, 20, 30, 40, 50 or 60°C in a water bath.  相似文献

The effectiveness of applying Ovaprim [(D-Arg6, Pro9NEt)-sGnRH + domperidone] and Ovopel [(D-Ala6, Pro9NEt)-mGnRH + metoclopramide] to male barbel Barbus barbus (L.) 6, 12 and 24 h after hormonal stimulation was analyzed. The control group (Control) during each time interval was stimulated with 0.9 % NaCl. Milt was collected from seven fish only once (n = 7) for Ovopel, Ovaprim and Control group in order to determine total volume of milt, volume of milt per kg of body weight, sperm concentration, total sperm production, seminal plasma osmotic pressure, pH of milt and pH of seminal plasma. Woynarovich’s solution (68 mM NaCl + 50 mM urea) with the addition of 0.5 % BSA (pH 7.7; 181 mOsm kg?1) was used as the activating liquid. Selected parameters of sperm motility (MOT %) and progressively motile sperm (%), curvilinear velocity (VCL, μm s?1), straight-line velocity (μm s?1), movement linearity (%), wobbling index (%), amplitude of lateral head displacement (μm) and beat cross frequency (Hz) were determined using the Computer-assisted sperm analysis system. A time of 6 h proved to be too short to obtain milt from barbel following hormonal stimulation with Ovaprim and Ovopel. Extending the time to 12 h, however, resulted in 100 % spermiation in males, regardless of hormonal preparation used for stimulation. The stimulation of spermiation in barbel is best performed using Ovopel 12 h upon application. Extending the latency period to 24 h following the application of this preparation results in a significant decrease in the volume of milt obtained, sperm count and motility parameters, including MOT and VCL, which may influence sperm fertilization ability.  相似文献

Changes in semen quality and selected biochemical markers were analyzed during a week of spawning season of common carp Cyprinus carpio L. Semen was obtained twice, on May 30 and on June 7, and each time it was collected 24 h after hormonal stimulation using Ovopel [(d-Ala6, Pro9 NEt)-mGnRH + metoclopramide] in 1 pellet kg?1. The total volume of semen (ml), volume of semen per kg of body weight (ml kg?1 b.w.), sperm concentration (×109 ml?1), total number of sperm per kg of body weight (×109 kg?1 b.w.), pH of semen, pH of seminal plasma, seminal plasma osmotic pressure (mOsm kg?1) and the total protein content in seminal plasma (mg ml?1) were determined. A 10 mM Tris buffer containing 100 mM NaCl with 0.5 % BSA (pH 9.0, osmolality 200 mOsm kg?1) was used to activate sperm. The following computer-assisted sperm analysis (CASA) parameters were determined: percentage of motile sperm (MOT, %), progressively motile sperm (PRG, %), curvilinear velocity (VCL, μm s?1), straight-line velocity (VSL, μm s?1), movement linearity (LIN, %), wobbling index (WOB, %), amplitude of lateral head displacement (ALH, μm) and beat cross-frequency (BCF, Hz). The volume of semen per kg of BW, total number of sperm per kg of BW and semen pH were significantly lower at the second semen sampling compared to the first semen sampling. Volume of semen at the second sampling correlated positively with CASA parameters. A lack of differences among CASA parameters between both collection periods indicates good quality of carp sperm hormonally stimulated with Ovopel twice at a 1-week interval.  相似文献

In spite of the fact that egg yolk from different avian species has successfully been used as an additive for the cryopreservation of sperm in mammalian species, its efficacy for cryopreserving fish sperm has not previously been tested comparatively. Therefore, the present study was carried out to determine the effect of egg yolks from different avian species, namely domestic chicken (Gallus gallus domesticus), turkey (Meleagris gallopavo) and quail (Coturnix coturnix), on post-thaw motility and fertilization ability of cryopreserved common carp spermatozoa. Egg yolks from chicken, turkey and quail were analysed for moisture, total fat, protein, cholesterol and phospholipid profile. Total fat and cholesterol contents of the turkey egg yolk were higher than chicken and quail egg yolks (p < 0.05). Semen was frozen according to conventional slow freezing procedure. The extender contained 350 mM glucose, 30 mM Tris and 5 % glycerol supplemented with different ratios of avian egg yolk (10, 15 and 20 %). Semen was equilibrated at 4 °C for 15 min and placed into 0.25-ml straws and frozen in liquid nitrogen vapour (for 10 min at ?120 °C) and finally stored in liquid nitrogen (?196 °C) tank. The frozen spermatozoa were thawed in a water bath at 35 °C for 30 s. Fertilization was conducted using a ratio of 1 × 105 spermatozoa/egg. Cryopreservation experiments resulted in higher post-thaw motility and fertilization rates. Mean post-thaw motility of cryopreserved spermatozoa was between 45 and 80 %, and fertilization rates, expressed as the percentage of eyed embryos, ranged from 70 to 95 %. In conclusion, the present study showed that turkey and quail egg yolks are suitable alternatives to the chicken egg yolk for the cryopreservation of common carp spermatozoa.  相似文献
