QUESTION: why fish sperm dose not effect by saltwater?

ANSWER: Hello Abdullah,

btw:  I changed the message to public so others may read and learn from your question.


I am not sure what you are asking here.  Are you wondering why or rather HOW sperms survives in a saltwater environment?

If so, i would have to defer to GOD.  He designed each creature to be able to survive and reproduce.  If not, each critter would die off and become extinct.

Please let me know if this was not what you were looking for.


thanks

QUESTION: HOW sperms survives in a saltwater environment?


Answer
Hello,

I would guess that the sperm is surrounded by material that protects it and allows it to survive until the sperm reaches the egg.

That material either wears out for a 'set period' or is released upon contact with egg membrane.

But, you have a good question, and my answer is just a guess.  I didnt do real good in biology or sex education. that is why i only have one kid...
