Abstract The primary function of spermatozoa is to fertilize the oocyte, which depends on their motility and directly associated with metabolic state. oxygen consumption rate (OCR) reflects respiratory capacity sperm mitochondria under various physiological conditions an essential marker quality. We determined OCR common carp ( Cyprinus carpio ) using two respirometry methods: conventionally used polarographic method a Clark-type electrode fluorometric assay Oxo Dish optochemical sensor. latter was for first time evaluate in states (under different treatments) at dilution rates. These methods were compared Bland–Altman analysis, applicability sensor evaluating discussed. Sperm progressive velocity parameters also assessed effect respiration rates preincubation period status spermatozoa. comparison these clearly shows that while allows immediate measurement levels after adding sample, has priority amount data obtained due simultaneous measurements several samples (e.g., males, fish species, repetitions same sample or experimental conditions), even later measuring chamber. However, are complementary, proposed methodology can be applied other species.
