Genetic inactivation of stinging catfish (Heteropneustes fossilis) sperm with UV irradiation
2009-01-01
Abstract excerpt
To improve the efficiency of gynogenetic induction, the effect of UV light on sperm of Heteropneustes fossilis was optimized. The sperm suspension was diluted to 1 107 sperm/ml-1 in Hank's Balanced Salt Solution. Sperm suspension was irradiated under UV light for different exposure times ranging from 15 to 360 seconds (7500 ergs/mm-2 for 60 seconds). Sperm motility and egg activation efficiency were assessed for t...
