Quality of testicular semen of the African catfish Clarias gariepinus (Burchell, 1822) and its relationship with fertilization and hatching success
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Quality differences of testicular semen of the African catfish, Clarias gariepinus, and their influence on fertilization and hatching success were investigated. In accordance with an earlier study, two semen types of the African catfish were distinguished according to testicular maturity stage. Semen type I derived from males with white mature testes whereas type II semen derived from males with grey, partly mature testes. Semen volume, sperm cell concentration and seminal plasma pH was significantly higher in type I semen than in type II semen, while sperm motility was similar. Similar fertilization percentages were obtained with semen type I and semen type II. However, the hatching percentage was higher and the percentage of deformed hatched larvae was lower for type I semen. There were significant (P<0.01) positive correlations between sperm motility and fertilization percentage, seminal plasma pH and hatching percentage and a negative correlation between seminal plasma pH and percentage of deformed larvae. Therefore seminal plasma pH and sperm motility are useful to predict semen quality of the African catfish.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
