Source of dietary lipid affects sperm plasma membrane integrity and fertility in rainbow trout Oncorhynchus mykiss (Walbaum) after cryopreservation

Abstract

The effects of dietary lipid from 4 experimental diets on the fatty acid composition and cholesterol content of spermatozoa and their plasma membranes and their consequences for sperm viability after cryopreservation were evaluated in rainbow trout. The 4 sources of lipid were herring oil (adequate n-3 fatty acid), menhaden oil (high n-3 fatty acid), safflower oil (high n-6 fatty acid ) or tallow (high saturated fatty acid), and they comprised 12% of the total diet. Spermatozoa from fish fed the tallow diet had significantly (P http://upei-resolver.asin-risa.ca?sid=SP:CABI&id=pmid:&id=&issn=&isbn=&volume=31&issue=3&spage=297&pages=297-305&date=2000&title=Aquaculture%20Research&atitle=Source%20of%20dietary%20lipid%20affects%20sperm%20plasma%20membrane%20integrity%20and%20fertility%20in%20rainbow%20trout%20Oncorhynchus%20mykiss%20%28Walbaum%29%20after%20cryopreservation.&aulast=Pustowka&pid=%3Cauthor%3EPustowka%2c%20C%3bMcNiven%2c%20M%20A%3bRichardson%2c%20G%20F%3bLall%2c%20S%20P%3C%2Fauthor%3E%3CAN%3E20000106611%3C%2FAN%3E%3CDT%3EJournal%20article%3C%2FDT%3
