Spermcasting is an unusual reproductive strategy in some aquatic species in which
functional males release gametes to fertilize eggs inside the body cavity of functional …

In brooding mollusc species that incubate larvae before their release in seawater, the
biology of gametes remains poorly explored. The present study describes some biological …

A histological and ultrastructural examination of spermatogenesis and spermatozoa in
diploid, triploid and tetraploid Corbicula fluminea was conducted. In the Yangtze River …

Larvae of the European flat oyster (Ostrea edulis) were cryopreserved using two protocols
originally developed for other bivalvian species with several modifications. Culture of the …

The characterization of sperm motility patterns, particularly post‐activation changes, is the
first step in setting up species‐specific protocols involving gamete management and embryo …

Cryopreservation offers long-term storage of gametes without constraint from seasonal
gamete maturation, provides opportunities to improve the efficiency of breeding and genetic …

Sperm quantification is vitally important when sperm concentration is required for
standardization of different fertilization treatments in a hatchery. Although the …

ABSTRACT A series of hyperthermal events coupled with extensive rise in the global mean
sea level (GMSL) mark the beginning of Eocene epoch. This time is also characterised by …

Low survival of cryopreserved sperm impedes the application of cryopreservation technique
in spermcasting oyster species. This study developed a simple method of liquid nitrogen …

the biology of gametes and larvae in brooding mollusc species remains little explored. the
aim of this study is to present the results obtained in 2016, on biological characteristics of …
