Abstract

Agricultural and Veterinary Sciences Environmental Sciences Technology Sparus aurata seabream transfer DNA sperm sonication
The association of foreign DNA with gilthead seabream (Sparus aurata) sperm was enhanced relative to simple coincubation by sonication, freezing, dimethyl sulfoxide and polyethylene glycol treatments. Sonication yielded the strongest dot blot signals, equivalent to 250 to 380 foreign DNA copies per spermatozoa. We are unaware of previous reports attempting to associate DNA with ultrasound for fish or elsewhere. However, no or negligible foreign DNA was evident in 1- and 2-day-old fish larvae resulting from eggs fertilized with sonicated or frozen sperm.
