The aim of this study was to document the effects of cryopreservation on sperm motility and viability in Grey mullet Mugil cephalus. Cryopreservation of sperm was attempted by using two extenders ringer solution for marine fish (RSMF) and V2 extender (V2E) and cryoprotectants dimethylacetamide (DMA), dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO), ethylene glycol (EG),...
The effects of osmolality and pH of the seawater and non-ionic media (glucose) on sperm activation in Mugil cephalus was evaluated. The effect of cryopreservation was documented by cryopreserving the sperm diluted with a cryomedium (V2 extender + 10% dimethylsulfoxide) in a programmable freezer. The highest motility grade (4) or (3) was recorded wh...
In this study, we optimized a simple method of cryopreservation for Mugil cephalus sperm based on post-thaw motility and viability. A series of experiments were conducted by changing the extender, cryoprotectant and freezing height above the liquid nitrogen (LN) surface. First, we carried out the cryopreservation using the extender V2E and cryoprot...
This study documents the effect of cryopreservation on motility, DNA integrity, and gene expression in Mugil cephalus sperm. Fresh sperm were cryopreserved using V2 extender (V2E) or 0.3 M glucose, each in combination with one of three cryoprotective agents (CPAs), i.e., 10 % of dimethylsulfoxide, ethylene glycol, or glycerol, all at once. After tw...
Avicennia marina mangrove leaves polysaccharide (AMLP) was used for the synthesis of polysaccharide-based selenium (AMLP-SeNPs) and silver nanoparticles (AMLP-AgNPs). The synthesized nanoparticles were further characterized by UV-Vis, DLS, FT-IR, X-ray diffraction, and HR-TEM analysis. A 60-day (8 weeks) feeding trial experiment was conducted to in...
Quality of fresh milt of grey mullet Mugil cephalus Linnaeus, 1758 was assessed based on motility grade, motility duration, sperm count and seminal plasma osmolality. Freshly collected milt from live males (n=17) were examined individually for motility assessment. Motility grade was four in fifteen samples whereas three in other two samples analyse...
