A study of some seminal plasma indices of Argyrosomus hololepidotus Lacepède, 1801 in Konarak Port

The present study investigated some of seminal plasma indices (ionic and organic composition), osmolality and their relationships in Argyrosomus hololepidotus semen. The concentrations of Sodium (Na), Potassium (K) ¡ Calcium (Ca2) and Magnesium (Mg2) ions were 103±26.33, 25.34± 13.03, 0.76± 0.22 and 1.08± 0.35 mMol/L respectively. Seminal plasma contained 0.45±0.26 mg/ dL total protein, 21.77± 7.56 mg/ dL cholesterol, 5.32± 2.16 mg/ dL glucose , 117.38± 28.17 mOsmol/ Kg osmolality,4.06 the Na﹏ ration and 0.02 the Ca2ﲯ . Results showed the significant positive correlations between Na+ osmolality (r=0.80, P
