abstract:
Male adult specimens of the grooved carpet shell Venerupis decussata (Linnaeus, 1758) were collected from the Porto Pozzo lagoon (central-western Mediterranean) in order to evaluate if their sperm
motility is affected by the wide salinity variations of this area. The sperm motility parameters assessed by computer assisted analysis showed no significant differences in relation to the tested salinity range.
