Article Synopsis
- Prochilodus brevis is a fish species with declining populations, prompting research on improving its reproduction in captivity.
- The study aimed to identify the optimal sperm-to-oocyte ratio and the best volume of activating solution for fertilization.
- Results showed that using approximately 928,410 sperm per oocyte and 75.64 mL of activating solution per 2 mL of oocytes maximized fertilization rates, achieving a peak of 51.69%.
