Hormonal manipulations for the enhancement of sperm production in cultured fish and evaluation of sperm quality

TLDR
The development of Computer-Assisted Sperm Analysis (CASA) systems made possible the estimation of a higher number of sperm motion parameters using an objective, sensitive and accurate technique, and the development of ASMA software has introduced a new approach for sperm evaluation studies.

Spermatogenesis in fish.

TL;DR: In this article, the effects of progestin, androgens, and estrogens on global testicular gene expression patterns (microarray analysis), and molecular mechanisms by which steroids regulate specific candidate genes (identified by subtractive hybridization approaches) during early stages of testis maturation are discussed.

Effect of broodstock nutrition on reproductive performance of fish

TL;DR: An improvement in broodstock nutrition and feeding has been shown to greatly improve not only egg and sperm quality but also seed production, and protein component of cuttlefish and squid together with their optimal concentration of HUFA appear to be responsible for their positive effect on reproductive performance.

Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids in Male and Female Reproduction

TL;DR: In Westernized societies, average consumption of n-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) far exceeds nutritional requirements, and adequate powered trials are required to determine the extent to which this aspect of the authors' diets does influence their fertility.

Does shingles affect sperm count?

Hormonal therapies usually do not affect sperm quality parameters, except in cases where fish fail to spermiate naturally or produce very small volumes of high-density sperm.
