Salmonid milt : review and applications
Published : 4 July 1990
Abstract
Properties of salmonid milt are reviewed. The main peculiarities of the spermatozoa are : absence of acrosoma, immotility in seminal plasma due to the high level of potassium, activation following a dilution of environmental K+, short duration of motility due to a low mitochondrial capacity to maintain the concentration of ATP, and dependence on environmental conditions (temperature, pH, oxygen). In practice, these characteristics must be taken in account in salmonid sperm handling, short term storage and cryopreservation.
