Physical Analysis of the Milt in Cultured and Wild Stocks of Scale carp, Cyprinus carpio var. communis
Year: 2023
Type: article
Abstract: The present study was conducted to compare the physical parameters of seminal plasma between the cultured and wild stocks of scale carp (Cyprinus carpio var.communis) during the year 2019-2020.The following physical spermatological parameters in wild conditions were found out: Mean sperm volume 2.393 ± 1.64 ml, mean sperm motility 75.038 ± 10.162%, mean movement duration 50.367 ± 13.92 sec, mean sperm density 3.534 ± .272 10 9 /ml and mean pH 8.29 ± .494whereas in farmed condition, the mean sperm volume were 1.486 ± 0.88 ml, mean sperm motility 68.9 ± 12.46%, mean movement duration 44.66 ± 13.48s, mean sperm density 3.84 ± 0.18110 9 /ml, and mean pH 8.5 ± 0.311.Significantly higher sperm volume and motility percentage were found in the wild (P < 0.05) as compared to farmed fishes, whereas significantly higher sperm density was found in the farmed fishes (P < 0.01) as compared to wild fishes.It can be concluded that the sperms of wild fishes were of better quality than the sperms of farmed fishes.
