Abstract
The effects of diluents composition on cold storage for olive flounder (Paralichthys olivaceus) sperm were examined in terms of the swimming speed of sperm, the percentage of mobile sperm, and fertilization rates. The following results indicated that cold storage methods with fresh conditions could be employed in olive flounder milt preservation. The preserved sperm of olive flounder that was diluted I: 10 with artificial seminal plasma II (ASP II) and Stein's solution (SS) at <TEX>$0^{\circ}C$</TEX> remained motile for 30 days. The most effective condition for cold storage was ASP II and SS at 0 <TEX>$0^{\circ}C$</TEX> for the sperm, although there is no significant difference statistically. No difference in the fertilization rate was found between fresh sperm and the preserved ones with ASP I, II and SS at 10 days post-storage.
