Abstract
In externally fertilizing fishes, multiple factors of the spawning environment may
affect the sperm viability, and thus the fertilization rate. In this thesis, the sperm
activation effect of osmolality of non-electrolytes and electrolytes activation media, pH and ion channel inhibitors on Nile tilapia, Oreochromis niloticus, and the effect of environmentally relevant pollutants (cadmium, malathion and rotenone) on sperm fitness (motility and morphology) were investigated.
