Abstract :Objective: This study was performed to determine the effect of different ratios of n-3 series fatty acids added to the diets of rainbow trout insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Oncorhynchus mykiss); on sperm motility duration. Methods: A total of 48 male rainbow trouts about 3 years of age were used in the study and 4 groups were formed. The one that n-3 series fatty acids were not added to the diet was used as control group. n-3 series fatty acids were added to the experimental groups diets at the ratios of 1% insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(E1);, 2% insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(E2); and 3% insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(E3);, respectively. Semen was collected by abdominal massage. The time-dependent sperm motility change was detected under the microscope at x400 magnification. Results: A significant decrease was detected in the motility only at 360th hour in E3 group compared to the control group insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(p<0.05);. Conclusion: As a result, it was concluded that feeding with diets containing different ratios of n-3 series fatty acids had no effect on the motility of rainbow trout semen under in vitro condition.
