Seminal plasma has contained organics factors same as proteins and cholesterol. The information about role and variety of fish seminal plasma and relationship with other factors especially in common carp is rare. The aim of this study was evaluation of effects of total protein and cholesterol on physical and biochemical factors of cultural common carp milt in Khouzestan province. For this study 40 fish have been bought (20 in March and 20 in April) and examinations of physical and biochemical were tested. Base on the results, total protein in March and April was 0.29±0.14 and 0.37±0.35 g/dl respectively, cholesterol in March and April was 9/95±8.83 and 14/12±12.73 mg/dl respectively. The total protein and cholesterol in April compared to March increased nonsignificantly. The ions of calcium, chloride, sodium and potassium in April compared to March increased. Based on the results there was significant and positive correlation between total protein and Albumin, cholesterol and K in march and significant and negative correlation with Cl but total protein in April had significant and positive with Cl, P, spermatocrit, cholesterol and Albumin and negative and significant correlation with weight of fish. Cholesterol in March had significant and positive with albumin and negative significant correlation with Cl and P but cholesterol in April had positive significant correlation with spermatocrit, Albumin, P and Cl. According to the data of this study, total protein, cholesterol, calcium, chloride, sodium, potassium of the Common carp seminal plasma increased in April compared to March. So because of these factors have effects on fertility, quality and quantity of common carp sperm So it is possible to adjust the parameters of protein, cholesterol and minerals of dietary in spawing season increase the quality of common carp sperm.Journal
