Sperm motility was activated in ambient seawater with salinity 4–32 PSU with highest motility and velocity observed at 12–24 PSU. In the present study, we investigated the physiological mechanisms regulating sperm motility in Eastern oyster, Crassostrea virginica. As sperm motility and velocity are key determinants for fertilization success, understanding the regulation of sperm motility and identifying optimal environmental conditions can increase fertility and seed production. ![]() ![]() Oyster aquaculture is expanding worldwide, where many farms rely on seed produced by artificial spawning.
