The results demonstrated that addition of taurine at doses of 50 mM and 75 mM and also BSA at doses of 2.5% and 5% improved fertilization ability of cryopreserved scaly carp semen. The highest post-thaw motility (42.4 +/- 1.5%), viability (67.8 +/- 2.6%), fertilization (59.3 +/- 0.5%) and also hatching rates (68.2 +/- 3.4%) were determined by supplementation of 75 mM taurine (p<0.05). These results suggest that supplementation of ionic extender with taurine is suitable for scaly carp semen cryopreservation.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessCyprinus carpioantioxidantsperm cryopreservationfertilizationArticle66WOS:000341971400001Q4
