Evaluation of Gamete Quality

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Controlled Reproduction of Wild Eurasian Perch

Abstract

Practical guidance considering applicable methods of gamete quality evaluation is preceeded by a theoretical introduction into the definition of gamete quality. In addition, the potential hatchery-related factors of gamete quality are briefly described.
