Factors predicting male fertilization success in an external fertilizer (2008, background): “Sperm velocity is a good predictor of male fertilization success in the absence of sperm competition ( Froman et al. 1999; Kupriyanova and Havenhand 2002; Lahnsteiner et al. 1998; Levitan 2000).”
Evaluation of fish sperm quality (2010, methodology): “Although eye assessment of velocity was still recently used (Gage et al., 2002; 2004), several works in the past decade have reported the use of different Computer Assisted Sperm Analysis (CASA) systems to assess sperm motility in fish.”
Sperm quality influences male fertilization success in walleye (Sander vitreus) (2006, background): “Surprisingly, however, there has been relatively little research examining how different sperm traits relate to fertilizing ability (Gage et al. 2004; Malo et al. 2005).”
Hormonal manipulations for the enhancement of sperm production in cultured fish and evaluation of sperm quality (2017, result): “Similar data has been reported in other marine species such as Atlantic salmon, Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua) and green swordtail (Xiphophorus helleri), in which spermatozoa velocity seems to be the major component that determines fertilization success and the proportion of the paternity through sperm”
Changes of sperm morphology, volume, density and motility and seminal plasma composition in Barbus barbus (Teleostei: Cyprinidae) during the reproductive season (2008, background): “Gage et al. (2004) also noted that males with higher spermatozoa velocities fertilized a greater proportion of eggs.”
Sperm quantity and quality effects on fertilization success in a highly promiscuous passerine, the tree swallow Tachycineta bicolor (2010, background): “Earlier studies have found relationships between sperm quality traits and fertilization success both in external (e.g. Levitan 2000; Gage et al. 2004; Casselman et al. 2006; Rudolfsen et al. 2008) and internal fertilizers (e.g. Birkhead et al. 1999; Donoghue et al. 1999; Denk et al. 2005; Malo et…”
Parent–egg–progeny Relationships in Teleost Fishes: An Energetics Perspective (2005, unknown): “In sperm competition trials among different Salmo salar males, Gage et al. (2004) identified parentage by using polymorphic microsatellite markers.”
A mechanism for cryptic female choice in chinook salmon (2008, methodology): “For example, using microsatellite DNA fingerprinting, Gage et al. (2004) demonstrated in Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar), that a male’s relative sperm velocity was the most important factor affecting fertilization success during sperm competition.”
Multiple Male Reproductive Morphs in the Invasive Round Goby (Apollonia melanostoma) (2009, background): “, 2009) and, in external fertilizers, sperm swimming speed predicts fertilization success in competitive matings (Gage et al., 2004).”
Half a century of genetic interaction between farmed and wild Atlantic salmon: Status of knowledge and unanswered questions (2017, unknown): “Experimental studies have shown that there are significant differences in sperm morphology (Gage et al., 2004; Gage, Stockley, & Parker, 1998) and fertilization success among individual males (Gage et al., 2004).”
