Abstract:
Abstract. In this study, semen seminal plasma
contents and the motility of sperm cells were determined in Capoeta trutta via a computer-assisted sperm
analysis system. In addition, we evaluated the relationship between semen
seminal plasma ions and the velocities of sperm cells. Although the
predominant ions were K (206.84±20.61 mg L−1) and Na (128.06±23.82 mg L−1) in the semen seminal plasma, Ca (14.05±4.13 mg L−1) and Mg (3.35±0.44 mg L−1) were not predominate according to our results. However,
partially strong relationships between the curvilinear
velocity value (VCL) and K (R2=0.67; p〈0.05) were found, while it was moderate with Mg (R2=0.48; p〈0.05). There was a weak
relationship with Na (R2=0.17; p〈0.05) and Ca
(R2=0.34; p〈0.05). In our results, while the trace metals
were determined as Zn 〉 Al 〉 B 〉 Li 〉 Cu in semen seminal plasma, they are not correlated with
sperm cell velocities. Finally, we hope that the present information on the
motility parameters of Capoeta trutta in this paper will eventually help artificial
insemination in reproduction practices.
