Abstract:The fertilization of Chinese Sturgeon (Acipenser sinensis) milt was assessed by using different concentrations of NaCl,KCl,MgCl2,CaCl2 or glucose solution as the insemination-activation medium.The results showed that the fertilization rates of Chinese Sturgeon were all improved when suitable concentrations of NaCl,KCl,MgCl2,CaCl2 and glucose solutions were used,and that the fertilization rates reached the highest when the following concentrations of solutions were used: 87.72% in 25 mmol/L NaCl,86.82% in 0.1 mmol/L KCl, 82.24% in 1 mmol/L MgCl2, 89.76% in 1 mmol/L CaCl2, and 80.92% in 50 mmol/L glucose.Further increase in the salt or glucose concentration caused gradual decrease in fertilization rate. The results indicate that,as insemination-activation medium of Chinese Sturgeon milt, the most suitable concentration for NaCl, KCl, MgCl2, CaCl2 and glucose solution were 25 mmol/L, 0.1 mmol/L, 1 mmol/L, 1 mmol/L, and 50 mmol/L, respectively.
