Abstract
The spermatozoa of Hemiculter eigenmanni is similar to other cyprinid by spherical head containing a nucleus with highly condensed chromatin, a short midpiece with mitochondria and a flagellum located tangentially to the head. The fine structure of cyprinid spermatozoa described classical characteristics of Cyprinidae spermatozoon comprising the absent of acrosome, the shallow nucleal fossa, postnuclear distribution of mitochondria and the lateral insertion of flagellum. However there were some structural differences for their morphology, in the mitochondria and the orientation of centrioles. The proxomal and distal centrioles are oriented approximately $145^{\circ}$ to each other. The mitochondria of 8 or 10 in number are arranged in two or three layers.
