Abstract

Some of biological parameters of blood and seminal plasma are different in some of material and there is correlation between some of them. known of biochemical parameters in blood and seminal plasma are necessary for determination of physiologic situation of fish and such known of effective parameters on seminal plasma compositions that have effect on physiologic situation of sperm are necessary. The aim of this investigation was to determinate and compare some of seminal and blood plasma biochemical parameters in Cyprinus carpio. For this purpose 15 wild sea carp fish with weight average (808.88) grams were caught from Gorganrood estuary on May and levels of Ca+2 and Mg+2 ions, total protein, glucose and cholesterol of their blood and seminal plasma were determined. Results show that level of Ca+2 ion significantly was more than seminal (P<0.01) but there are no significant differences between blood plasma and seminal in Mg+2 and total protein (P>0.05). Blood glucose and cholesterol level significantly were more than seminal (P<0.01). There was a significant correlation between Mg+2 and glucose in blood and seminal plasma but there were not significant correlations between other parameters in blood and seminal plasma.
