Chemical composition of blood and seminal plasma of Barbus aeneus (Cyprinidae).
1. The chemical composition of the seminal and blood plasma of Barbus aeneus (smallmouth yellowfish) were determined. 2. Various concentration differences between the components of the seminal and blood plasma were noted. 3. Differences found can be ascribed to the existence of a blood-testis barrier.
