Abstract
Abstract This study aimed to verify whether the inclusion of omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs-ô3) in the diet of Astyanax lacustris males improves seminal quality. Four hundred fish were arranged in 20 boxes of 180 L in the recirculation system. These were fed with isoprotein diets (32% CP), until apparent satiation, with four levels of marine fish oil rich in PUFAs-ô3 inclusion (In% = 0, 3, 6, and 9), for 105 days. After, males were hormonally induced to spermiation, and semen was collected after 226 ATUs. Parameters evaluated were osmolality, seminal volume and color, spermatic concentration, sperm morphology, membrane integrity and, sperm motility (total and progressive motility, velocity curvilinear, straight line and average path, linearity and rectilinearity coefficients, trajectory oscillation, head lateral displacement amplitude, and cross-beat frequency). Seminal volume was greater in the In-0 and In-3 groups. Inclusion of PUFAs-ô3 positively influenced the kinetic parameters, as treatment with 6% and 9% of inclusion fish oil resulted in higher values for most of these parameters and did not differ statistically from each other. Thus, it is concluded that the addition of PUFAs-ô3 to the feed of breeders significantly improved the seminal quality of A. lacustris males.
期刊介绍:
Neotropical Ichthyology is the official journal of the Sociedade Brasileira de Ictiologia (SBI). It is an international peer-reviewed Open Access periodical that publishes original articles and reviews exclusively on Neotropical freshwater and marine fishes and constitutes an International Forum to disclose and discuss results of original research on the diversity of marine, estuarine and freshwater Neotropical fishes.
-Frequency: Four issues per year published only online since 2020, using the ‘rolling pass’ system, which posts articles online immediately as soon as they are ready for publication. A searchable and citable Digital Object Identifier (DOI) is assigned to each article immediately after online publication, with no need to await the issue’s closing.
-Areas of interest: Biology, Biochemistry and Physiology, Ecology, Ethology, Genetics and Molecular Biology, Systematics.
-Peer review process: The Editor-in-Chief screens each manuscript submitted to Neotropical Ichthyology to verify whether it is within the journal’s scope and policy, presents original research and follows the journal’s guidelines. After passing through the initial screening, articles are assigned to a Section Editor, who then assigns an Associate Editor to start the single blind review process.
