摘要
This study sampled sperm from wild Atlantic salmon to explore relationships between sperm form and function. Detailed measurements of sperm morphometry (head, flagellum and total length) and sperm activity (longevity and % motility) were made from 24 reproductively active males (13 anadromous and 11 mature parr) on two occasions post-stripping. There was significant between-male variance in total sperm length but this variance was not related to body size. Despite this variance in sperm length, no relationships were found between a male's sperm activity (longevity or % motility) and his sperm length. There were also no relationships between sperm head length and flagellar length, and no evidence for a trade-off between sperm length and numbers. It is suggested that the significant between-male variance in sperm morphometry supports diploid control of spermatogenesis: haploid expression of sperm phenotype would be manifested as profound variance within (and not between) each male's spermatozoal characteristics.

该研究抽样野生大西洋鲑鱼的精子探索精子形态和功能之间的关系。精子形态（头，鞭毛和总长度）和精子活动（长寿和％25蠕动）的详细测量从24繁殖活跃的男性（13溯河产卵和11个成熟的帕尔）两次后剥离了言。有显著男性之间的差异在总精子长度，但这种变化是不相关的车身尺寸。尽管这种差异精子长度，男性的精子活动（长寿或25％活力）和他的精子长度之间没有发现任何关系。也有精子头部长度和鞭毛长度，并没有任何证据精子长度和号码之间的折衷之间没有关系。有人建议，在显著男性之间的差异精子形态支持二倍体控制精子：精子表型的单倍体表达将表现为中（而不是之间），每个男性的精子特征深刻变化。
