Induction of maturation and spermiation in the male European eel: assessment of sperm quality throughout treatment
Weekly injections of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG; 1·5 IU g −1 W ) induced spermiation in 87–100% farmed male European eels Anguilla anguilla over a 10‐week period, producing 3 ml (100 g) −1 milt volume, at 1˙4×10 9 spermatozoa ml −1 sperm mobility peaked in ninth week of treatment with 97% of...
