In this study, the effects of Ovaprim, HCG and pituitary extract injection on biochemical parameters of seminal plasma in common carp (Cyprinus carpio L.) male broodstocks were compared. Biochemical parameters (Ca2+, Mg2+, Cl-, total protein, glucose and cholesterol) were measured by spectrophotometer while Na+ and K+ were analysed with flame photometer. There was a highly significant difference of seminal plasma Na+ and K+ among treatments (P<0/01), as the highest value of Na+ and K+ observed in the control group. There was a significant difference in Cl- among treatments (P<0/01) as the lowest value of Cl- observed in the control group, but there were no significant differences in Ca2+ and Mg2+ among treatments (P>0/05). Significant differences in cholesterol values in seminal plasma were observed among treatments (P<0/05), as the highest value was observed in HCG treatment. Also, there was a highly significant difference of seminal plasma glucose and total protein among treatments (P<0/01), the highest value observed in control group. The results of this study demonstrated that Ovaprim, HCG and pituitary extract injection have different effects on biochemical parameters of seminal plasma in cultured common carp.
