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