Rainbow trout sperm are ‘maladapted’ to freshwater spawning, resulting in shorter duration of sperm motility in fresh water compared to buffered saline solution. We hypothesized that different sperm motility-activating media have various effects on sperm motility characteristics and oxidative stress...
