Article Synopsis
- Cold storage and freezing of Atlantic salmon milt can impact sperm functionality and fertilization ability, prompting a study to compare quality under different conditions.
- The researchers examined milt from eight mature males, storing samples at 2°C and 8°C for up to 4 days, then performing fertilization trials to assess various sperm quality parameters.
- Results showed that higher storage temperatures adversely affected sperm quality and fertilization rates, with certain sperm parameters and metabolites correlating significantly with fertility outcomes.
Artificial fertilization is increasingly used in aquaculture, mostly applying short-term cold stored milt. Large scale cryopreservation of milt could be valuable for increased flexibility and acceleration of breeding progress. The aim of this study was to assess viability, motility and ATP content of sperm from Atlantic salmon as a function of storage time, before and after cryopreservation.
