Description
Abstract
The fine structural organization and
dimensions of spermatozoa from species of 4
subfamilies of the Cyprinidae (Barbus barbus, Carassius
carassius, Cyprinus carpio carpio, Cyprinus carpio
haematopterus, Abramis brama, Alburnoides
bipunctatus, Alburnus alburnus, Chalcalburnus
chalcoides mento, Chondrostoma nasus,
Hypophthalmichthys molitrix, Leuciscus cephalus,
Phoxinus phoxinus, Rutilus rutilus, Rutilus meidingerii,
Scardinius erythrophthalmus, Vimba vimba and
Ctenopharyngodon idella) are compared with each other
as well as with results from other studies. Based on these
descriptions it is investigated whether sperm structure
reveals correlations with the existing systematics and if
it could be a useful taxonomical parameter.
The scatter plots based on the discriminate analysis
and the neighbour-joining trees based on a Mahalanobis
distance matrix reveal that sperm organization is related
with systematics in many aspects. However, in some
cases there are also clear differences between relations
found on the basis of sperm morphology and between
the systematic relations.
