Figure 2. Evolution of sperm quality parameters throughout the temperature<br />
treatments (T10, T15 and T20): A) percentage of spermiating males; B) sperm<br />
volume; C) sperm density; D) percentage of motile cells and E) percentage of<br />
progressive motile cells. Data are expressed as mean±SEM and different letters<br />
indicate significant differences between treatments at each week of treatment.<br />
