Despite the relatively long history of captive breeding, the Arctic charr still exhibits a
generally low, but highly variable reproductive performance in aquaculture. A recent …

The reproductive performance of farmed Arctic charr exhibits substantial individual variation.
The causes behind this variation have not yet been properly explained, despite the species …

Background Substantial variation in male fertility is regularly observed in farmed Arctic charr.
However, detailed investigations of its fluctuation during a reproductive season and across …

Arctic charr (Salvelinus alpinus) is a high-value species for the Nordic aquaculture. The
highly variable reproductive performance that is commonly observed in commercial farms is …

The ability of captive breeding programs to maintain genetic diversity and fitness has often
been questioned. Recent studies suggest that fitness loss can be extremely rapid in various …

The present study aims to analyze several biological and environmental variables to explain
the unpredictable reproductive success at the main aquaculture facility involved in the …

This study reports on the successful validation (via in situ nick translation and neutral comet
assay) of the equine Sperm-Halomax kit as an appropriate methodology for the assessment …

Defining reliable and objective biomarkers of sperm quality is a complex matter, because it
does not rely on a particular characteristic of the milt. Susceptibility to cryopreservation …

Background Artificial insemination is not as widely used in horses as in other domestic
species, such as dairy cattle and pigs, partly because of the wide variation in sperm quality …

Sperm DNA quality and gene expression are crucial for early embryo development.
Abnormal genomic processes can cause irreversible damage to totipotent cells, thereby …
