They have ecologically and economically important roles and above all have served as the best models for understanding the basis of sperm motility and the acrosome reaction. Sea urchins typically live in wave exposed rocky pools and are broadcast spawners like most Echinoderms. They accordingly release their gametes in the sea-water and furthermore serve as an important \u201creference broadcasting species\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>But how is sperm collected from sea urchins? The classical method is by injecting 1mL of 0.55 mM KCl on the oral side with spawning taking place from the 5 gonads via the 5 gonoducts after a few minutes to the 5 genital pores on the aboral side (Fig. 2A).\u00a0 As much as 2mL semen of highly concentrated semen can be collected (Fig. 2B). More recent information suggests that much lower concentrations of KCl (0.20 mM) can be injected which ensure survival of most of the animals.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_32576\" style=\"width: 510px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-32576\" class=\"lazyload wp-image-32576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.micropticsl.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Fig.2.png\" data-orig-src=\"https:\/\/www.micropticsl.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Fig.2.png\" alt=\"Echinodermata\" width=\"500\" height=\"197\" srcset=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%27http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%27%20width%3D%27500%27%20height%3D%27197%27%20viewBox%3D%270%200%20500%20197%27%3E%3Crect%20width%3D%27500%27%20height%3D%27197%27%20fill-opacity%3D%220%22%2F%3E%3C%2Fsvg%3E\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.micropticsl.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Fig.2-200x79.png 200w, https:\/\/www.micropticsl.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Fig.2-300x118.png 300w, https:\/\/www.micropticsl.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Fig.2-400x158.png 400w, https:\/\/www.micropticsl.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Fig.2-600x236.png 600w, https:\/\/www.micropticsl.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Fig.2-700x277.png 700w, https:\/\/www.micropticsl.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Fig.2.png 703w\" data-sizes=\"auto\" data-orig-sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-32576\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><em>Fig. 2: A: semen ejected via 5 gonopores on the aboral side;

Superficially it may seem that the sperm are swimming in a circle but on closer inspection they swim in a \u201ctight\u201d helix. Fig. 6 shows the two dimensional track of sperm 351 and then its 3D reconstruction using the method of van der Horst and Sanchez (2016, 2018). This model is based on many supportive studies and assumes that the sperm swims in spherical helix. In the 3D reconstruction three kinematic parameters VCL, ALH and BCF were used. We have furthermore established that the faster the sperm swims the greater the diameter of the helix. This has important implications in terms of sperm competition. It appears that sperm that swims in a helix instead of a straight line has a better chance of meeting an oocyte and, moreover, the faster they swim in a helix the greater the helix diameter and consequently the greater the chance of meeting an oocyte (van der Horst et al. 2018).<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_32585\" style=\"width: 320px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-32585\" class=\"lazyload size-full wp-image-32585\" src=\"https:\/\/www.micropticsl.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Fig.5.png\" data-orig-src=\"https:\/\/www.micropticsl.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Fig.5.png\" alt=\"SCA motility analysis \" width=\"310\" height=\"230\" srcset=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%27http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%27%20width%3D%27310%27%20height%3D%27230%27%20viewBox%3D%270%200%20310%20230%27%3E%3Crect%20width%3D%27310%27%20height%3D%27230%27%20fill-opacity%3D%220%22%2F%3E%3C%2Fsvg%3E\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.micropticsl.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Fig.5-200x148.png 200w, https:\/\/www.micropticsl.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Fig.5-300x223.png 300w, https:\/\/www.micropticsl.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Fig.5.png 310w\" data-sizes=\"auto\" data-orig-sizes=\"(max-width: 310px) 100vw, 310px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-32585\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><em>Fig. 5: A typical SCA motility analysis field.
