[Prolongation of the duration of motility and fertilizing ability of rainbow trout spermatozoa by the addition of theophylline to the dilution medium].
After rainbow Trout sperm were diluted in 0.01 and 0.001 M theophylline media, motility and fertilizing ability were prolonged as compared to the control media without theophylline. However, the motility observed was lower and of a different type than normal motility. This suggests that other factors besides cyclic nucleotides intervene in the motility of Trout spermatozoa.
