[EN] The critical situation of the European eel (Anguilla anguilla) has urged the development of sperm cryopreservation protocols for reproduction in captivity and cryobanking. In the last years, two research groups have ...

[EN] Positive effects of probiotics on fish reproduction have been reported in several species. In the present study, 40 male European eels were weekly treated with recombinant hCG for 9 weeks and with three different ...

[EN] Contents Sperm cryopreservation is a useful tool in captive fish reproduction management, that is to synchronize gamete production, especially in the case of species as the European eel, where the time of female ...

[EN] We examined the effect of temperature in European silver eels during their maturation induced by injections of carp pituitary extract on endocrine parameters: pituitary fshß and lhß expression, plasma 17ß-estradiol ...

[EN] Reproduction in captivity is a key study issue in Anguilla anguilla as a possible solution for its dwindling population. Understanding the mechanisms controlling the production of ribosomal building blocks during ...

[EN] The role of potassium from the seminal plasma and/or the activation media was examined by selectively removing from this media, and by testing the use of channel inhibitors and a K-ionophore. Sperm motility was measured ...

The conservation status of the species studied in this thesis (European eel and pufferfish) is currently frail, thus the main goal of this research was to develop, improve and apply several techniques and protocols ...

[EN] This study evaluates the effects of temperature on hCG-induced spermatogenesis in European eel (Anguilla anguilla), subjected to three thermal regimes: T10: 10 degrees C (first 4 weeks), 15 degrees C (next 3 weeks) ...

[EN] Activation at fertilization of the vertebrate egg is triggered by Ca2+ waves. Recent studies suggest the phospholipase C zeta (PLC zeta), a sperm-specific protein, triggers egg activation by an 1P3-mediated Ca2+ release ...
