Fish egg quality can be defined as the ability of the egg to be fertilized and subsequently
develop into a normal embryo. Similarly, sperm quality can be defined as its ability to …

Sperm DNA integrity is essential for the accurate transmission of genetic information. It has a
highly compact and complex structure and is capable of decondensation—features that must …

Cryopreservation is of interest not only for fish farming but also for the conservation and
genetic improvement of resources. This technique has been well established in some …

The ability to fully control sexual maturation and spawning and to produce large numbers of
high quality seeds 'on demand'(ie all year long) is a primary requirement for the successful …

New chemicals are being added each year to the existing burden of toxic substances in the
environment. This has led to increased pollution of ecosystems as well as deterioration of …

With this review we try to give a comprehensive overview of the current methods used in

Male factor infertility is the sole cause of infertility in approximately 20% of infertile couples,
with an additional 30% to 40% secondary to both male and female factors. Current means of …

The objective of this study was to examine the effect of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and
cryopreservation on DNA fragmentation of equine spermatozoa. In experiment 1, equine …

The development of cheaper technical tools and the availability of well established assay
kits provide today the spermatologists with several devices for objective and quantifying …

Cryopreservation causes several types of damage to spermatozoa, such as loss of plasma
membrane integrity and functionality, loss of motility, and ATP content, resulting in decrease …
