Abstract

Sperm volume and density and total number of sperm per fish showed high variations among samples. In a medium containing 20 mM K+, sperm velocity and the percentage of motility were higher in stripped sperm compared to testicular sperm. Medium with Osmolality of 100 mOsmol kg-1 showed a significant effect on velocity of stripped sperm (p < 0.05).
