Measuring change in sperm velocity for sperm incubated in their own seminal fluid vs rivals seminal fluid

Abstract

Chinook salmon ejaculates were experimentally manipulated, separating sperm from seminal fluid and then recombining sperm with either seminal fluid from the same male or from a rival male. Ejaculates were collected from male chinook salmon taken at both stages of a two-stage social manipulation experiment. Social dominance was determined within each pair using video recordings of aggressive behavior. Sperm velocity was measured using Computer Assisted Sperm Analysis
