Whether the ovarian fluid (OF) represents a selective environment influencing cryp‐tic female choice was tested using an external fertilizer experiencing intense sperm competition and large effects of OF on sperm swimming behavior—the Arctic charr (Salvelinus alpinus). We physically separated the OF from the eggs of reproductively active females and reintroduced either their own OF or fluid from another female to the eggs. The eggs were then fertilized in vitro in a replicated split‐brood design with sperm from two males under synchronized sperm competition trials, while also meas‐uring sperm velocity of the individual males in the individual OFs. We found large effects of males, but no effect of females (i.e.,...
