Abstract

The below article, published online on Wiley Online Library (http://wileyonlinelibrary.com) has been retracted by agreement between the submitting author, Mohammad Sadegh Aramli, the Editors, Ronald Hardy, Lindsay Ross, Shi‐Yen Shiau, Marc Verdegem, and John Wiley & Sons Ltd. After a thorough investigation, there is strong evidence to indicate that the peer review of this paper was compromised. The identities of the reviewers were unable to be verified and it is believed that the paper was accepted based on recommendations from reviewers not suitably qualified. REFERENCE Aramli, M.

High Temperature, pH, and Hypoxia Cause Oxidative Stress and Impair the Spermatic Performance of the Amazon Fish Colossoma macropomum

“…The oxidative damage observed in the present study suggests a inefficiency in the neutralization of ROS by the antioxidant defenses, since even with the increase of antioxidant enzyme activity, such as SOD, sperm presented high levels of lipoperoxidation and DNA damage. Aramli and Kalbassi (2016) also showed that the increase of the antioxidant defenses in the species Acipenser persicus was accompanied by the increase of oxidative damages. Fish sperm have characteristics that make them susceptible to damage related to oxidative stress, considering the high amount of polyunsaturated fatty acids of sperm membrane ( Shaliutina et al, 2013 ).…”

“…Oxidative stress can induce metabolic disorders that reduce sperm motility. As suggested by Aramli and Kalbassi (2016) , oxidative stress causes disturbances in the sperm metabolism, which results in decreased sperm motility.…”

“…During periods of environmental stress to which sperm are subjected at the time of activation, several antioxidant enzymes act to neutralize ROS ( Dadras et al, 2016 ). The antioxidant capacity of semen can vary among fish species ( Slowinska et al, 2013 ) and the formation of ROS can cause different types of damage, in particular lipid peroxidation of membranes, due to the abundance of polyunsaturated fatty acids, and DNA damage, with consequent loss of motility and decreased fertilization ( Aramli and Kalbassi, 2016 ).…”
