This review is focused on the applications of genome cryobanking of aquatic species
including freshwater and marine fish, as well as invertebrates. It also reviews the latest …

Cryopreservation is a long-term storage technique to preserve the biological material
without deterioration for extended period of time at least several thousands of years. The …

Advances in research on cryopreservation of gametes and embryos of aquatic organisms
are modest compared with work done in terrestrial animals and plants. While sperm has …

Protocols for the cryopreservation of fish gametes have been developed for many different
fish species, in special, freshwater salmonids and cyprinids. Methods for sperm freezing …

Sperm cryobanking could be a good alternative to breeding in captivity in order to preserve
genetic diversity. Sperm from two well-characterized brown trout populations originating …

The toxicity of five cryoprotectants–methanol, DMSO, glycerol, ethanediol and sucrose–on
different development stages of zebrafish embryos was investigated. Embryos were …

There is a growing awareness of a worldwide reduction in biodiversity and the urgent need
to develop ways to redress the problem. This is the first major book devoted to the subject of …

Cryopreservation is of interest not only for fish farming but also for the conservation and
genetic improvement of resources. This technique has been well established in some …

Cryopreservation of shellfish embryos and larvae may facilitate aquaculture management
and stock enhancement programs. Late embryos and early larvae of oysters (Crassostrea …

In the last few decades, farm animal genetic diversity has rapidly declined, mainly due to
changing market demands and intensification of agriculture. But, since the removal of single …
