Abstract
Fish sperm show many measurable parameters which react sensitively in a dose- and time-dependent way to toxic exposure. Fish sperm is therefore used as an in vitro toxicology test system. One of the most sensitive and easily detectable parameters is progressive motility which can be measured by a computer-assisted sperm analysis (CASA) system. Here we describe a simple protocol to test the effect of environmental toxicants by using zebrafish (Danio rerio) sperm.
