Anthropogenic emissions of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere have generated rapid
variations in atmospheric composition which drives major climate changes. Climate change …

Ambient temperature modulates reproductive processes, especially in poikilotherms such as
teleosts. Consequently, global warming is expected to impact the reproductive function of …

Species' vulnerability to climate change depends on the most temperature-sensitive life
stages, but for major animal groups such as fish, life cycle bottlenecks are often not clearly …

Climate change and urbanisation of watercourses affect water temperatures and current flow
velocities in river systems on a global scale. This represents a particularly critical issue for …

Reproduction in many organisms can be disrupted by changes to the physical environment,
such as those predicted to occur during climate change. Marine organisms face the dual …

Although a relatively high number of sperm quality biomarkers have been reported over the
years in several fish species, sperm motility is nowadays considered the best biomarker for …

The ongoing of global warming trend has led to an increase in temperature of several water
bodies. Reproduction in fish, compared with other physiological processes, only occurs in a …

The reproductive success of aquatic animals depends on a complex web of relationships
between the environment, the attributes of the reproductive individuals and human-induced …

Motility is a key in spermatozoon function, determining semen quality and fertilizing capacity.
Motility in fish spermatozoa occurs when they are diluted in a swimming solution, the …

American shad (Alosa sapidissima) is one of the most vulnerable and overreacting fish to
disturbance. Any handling may cause serious lesion or death, and suspend gonad …
