    Spermatozoa morphology and ultrastructure in Nile perch, Lates niloticus (Linnaeus, 1758)

    Item type: Journal Article • Journal: African Journal of Aquatic Science • Authors: D Kahwa --- Department of Wildlife and Aquatic Resources, Uganda E Nyatia --- Department of Biotechnical and Diagnostic Services, Uganda J Rutaisire --- Aquaculture Research and Development Centre, Uganda H Kaiser --- Department of Ichthyology and Fisheries Science, South Africa
    Lates niloticus is a valuable commercial fish species with good potential for aquaculture. However, there is limited information on the type and structure of the Nile perch spermatozoon, which could potentially aid in culture of this species. Here, we describe...
