Delayed Reproduction, Injury, and Regeneration of Testes in Out-of-Season Breeding of Largemouth Bass (Micropterus nigricans).

ABSTRACT: Out-of-season breeding is an effective method for addressing seasonal shortages of fry in aquaculture species such as largemouth bass (LMB) for year-round production. Off-season breeding of LMB can be achieved by subjecting breeding LMB to prolonged low-temperature conditions; however, this can alter reproductive rhythms, affecting the quality of their sperm and leading to a decrease in reproductive efficiency. Therefore, it is crucial to investigate issues such as the damage to the testes and the related mechanisms caused by low-temperature stress during out-of-season breeding. In this experiment, we assessed the changes in the testes during this time in LMB by comparing reproductive rhythms, testicular histomorphology, ultrastructure, antioxidant capacity and apoptosis. We synthesized me
