Wild Atlantic cod sperm motility is negatively affected by ovarian fluid of farmed females

Atlantic cod escape from fish farms at higher rates than commonly cultured marine species, and escapees have been observed to interact with wild fish in mating aggregations. Previous research suggests that potential interbreeding is mediated largely by the likelihood of wild males spawning with esca...
