Short‐term storage of sperm in common carp from laboratory research to commercial production—A review

Short-term storage of fish sperm is a simple and cost-effective process in fishery research from basic to applied perspectives. It has been used elucidate evaluate gamete biology quality, perform vitro fertilization, develop cryopreservation. Sperm short-term selective breeding, hatchery production advanced molecular investigations such as disease detection commercial species aquaculture well biological conservation threatened or endangered fishes. Several studies have demonstrated that the quality common carp Cyprinus carpio can be influenced by their health, age, nutritional status, dose administered hormone environmental factors. When stored for short time, spermatozoa motility viability key determinants fertility affected parameters including composition natural seminal plasma, duration exposure, temperature, dilution ratio if extender used, additives addition factors affect age male spawning period. This due damage integrity plasma membrane, reactive oxygen (ROS) causing oxidative stress epigenetic modification. review highlights investigates recent data regarding worldwide production, effects on function with consideration during storage. also knowledge gap must filled future designing methods laboratory into practical applications breeding program carp.
