Abstract :This study was conducted to determine the working principle and operability of the BASA-Sperm Aqua module software of the newly developed computer-assisted sperm analysis system (BASA) for the evaluation of spermatozoa motility in fish. Sperm samples of trout ( Oncorhynchus mykiss ) species were examined for this purpose. Sperm motility parameters such as VSL (μm/s), VCL (μm/s), VAP (μm/s),  LIN (%), BCF (Hz), ALH (μm), ve MAD ( o ) were examined. The investigated parameters were compared with data which analyzed in similar computer systems and published in international manuscripts. Finally,  the BASA-Sperm Aqua has been found to be a software that performs its functions very quickly and practical and produces accurate and understandable results in the determining sperm quality parameters of fish.
