英文摘要	This study focuses on recreating more realistic models of global warming, particularly considering heatwave phenomena, in order to decipher its effects on fish male gametes (spermatozoa). Our results showed that currently occurring natural heatwave events decrease the progressive and total motility of sperm from tench males, increasing the ROS content and decreasing the gene expression of sperm quality markers. The present results confirmed the potential negative effect that a thermal stress model (by the occurrence of a heatwave) may have on fish spermatozoa quality and that it might compromise its fertilization capacity, not only hindering the sustainable farming of aquaculture species but also biodiversity conservation under current and realistic climate change scenarios. Global aquaculture growth will most probably face specific conditions derived from climate change. In fact, the most severe impacts of these changes will be suffered by aquatic populations in restrictive circumstances, such as current aquaculture locations, which represent a perfect model to study global warming effects. Although the impact of temperature on fish reproduction has been characterized in many aspects, this study was focused on recreating more realistic models of global warming, particularly considering heatwave phenomena, in order to decipher its effects on male gametes (spermatozoa). For this purpose, thermal stress via a heatwave simulation (mimicking a natural occurring heatwave, from 24 to 30 C-degrees) was induced in adult tench (Tinca tinca) males and compared with a control group (55.02 +/- 16.44 g of average body wet weight). The impact of the thermal stress induced by this climate change event was assessed using cellular and molecular approaches. After the heatwave recreation, a multiparametric analysis of sperm quality, including some traditional parameters (such as sperm motility) and new ones (focus on redox balance and sperm quality biomarkers), was performed. Although sperm concentration and the volume produced were not affected, the results showed a significant deleterious effect on motility parameters (e.g., reduced progressive motility and total motility during the first minute post-activation). Furthermore, the sperm produced under the thermal stress induced by this heatwave simulation exhibited an increased ROS content in spermatic cells, confirming the negative effect that this thermal stress model (heatwave recreation) might have had on sperm quality. More importantly, the expression of some known sperm quality and fertilization markers was decreased in males exposed to thermal stress. This present study not only unveils the potential effects of climate change in contemporary and future fish farming populations (and their underlying mechanisms) but also provides insights on how to mitigate and/or avoid thermal stress due to heatwave events.
