The lifespan of spermatozoa from externally fertilizing freshwater fish ranges from a few
seconds to several minutes, depending on the species. External factors, such as …

Factors such as gamete quality can profoundly affect fertility, but the spawning micro-
environment that surrounds the spermatozoa and eggs during gamete contact has largely …

Background and Purpose Sperm from many species share the sperm‐specific Ca2+
channel CatSper that controls the intracellular Ca2+ concentration and, thereby, the …

Fertilization by multiple sperm leads to lethal chromosomal number abnormalities, failed
embryo development, and miscarriage. In some vertebrate and invertebrate eggs, the so …

The chorion is an acellular envelope surrounding the oocyte. In fish, this envelope plays a
pivotal role during fertilization and protects the develo** embryo against environmental …

Despite the increasing use of protoplasts in plant biotechnology research, shoot
regeneration from protoplasts remains challenging. In this study, we investigated the factors …

To meet growing fish demand, aquaculture must develop sustainable, cost‐effective, and
