A Study of Major Cations, Osmotic Pressure, andp H in Seminal Components of Atlantic Salmon
Certain properties of semen, spermatozoa, and seminal plasma of Atlantic salmon were investigated to facilitate the development of an extender for the cryo-preservation of sperm. The seminal plasma of 10 fish had an average pH of 8.25, an osmotic pressure of 232 milliosmols, and contained 237, 86, 5...
