The effects of extender composition, cryoprotectant concentration and freezing and thawing on the fertilization efficiency of cryopreserved spermatozoa of Puntius gonionotus were evaluated. Computer‐aided motility analysis of semen was conducted to check the suitability of spermatozoa for cryopreservation after mixing with different extenders and cryoprotective agents (CPAs). Extender‐4 with an osmolality 260 mOsmol kg−1and pH 7.6 was used for the cryopreservation study. Among the CPAs, dimethyl sulphoxide (DMSO) was least toxic and more than 60% fertilization was achieved when used at 1.4 M at 0 °C for 10 and 30 min, whereas the toxicity of all CPAs to spermatozoa was evident when tested at 30 °C. Semen frozen at −16 °C min−1 with 1.4 M DMSO showed 70% fertilization, which was significantly higher (P<0.05) than other freezing rates. Samples thawed at 35 °C water showed a fertilization rate comparable with that of fresh semen. Computer‐assisted semen analysis of fresh and frozen semen after thawing showed variations in different types of motility in spermatozoa and in their class. There was no significant difference in motility before or after cryopreservation; however, significant differences could be observed in the average path velocity (VAP), straight line velocity (VSL) and curve linear velocity (VCL). Semen of silver barb could be cryopreserved with extender‐4 by addition of 1.4 M DMSO to a final cryopreservation medium (MED 2) cooled at a rate of −16 °C min−1, stored in liquid nitrogen (−196 °C) and utilized after thawing at 35±2 °C.  相似文献

In this study, cryopreservation feasibility of Persian sturgeon (Acipenser persicus) and the effect of different doses of 2‐hydroxypropyl‐beta‐cyclodextrin on thawed spermatozoa quality (motility duration and motility percentage) were investigated. For freezing, semen of seven male individuals was pooled in equal volumes and diluted with 4°C [Tris‐HCl (100 mM), pH = 8, DMSO 10%] extenders containing 0, 5, 10, 15 mM of HβCD in a ratio of 1:1(semen/extenders). Then semen was filled into 0.5‐mL straws, and was frozen with vapour of liquid nitrogen at 4‐cm above surface of liquid nitrogen. After 3 min, straws were plunged in to liquid nitrogen. Thawing was performed at 40°C water baths for 15 s. Motility duration of the 10 mM HβCD treated spermatozoa at days 14 (228.98 ± 16.39) and 56 (199.66 ±21.78) were longer than other treatments. In day 56, the motility percentage in treatment with 10 mM was significantly higher (16.14 ± 2.54) (P < 0.05) compared with 5 mM treatment (8.75 ± 2.47) (P < 0.05). Therefore, it is recommended that 10 mM of HβCD can be used as an additive cryoprotectant for increasing cryopreserved spermatozoa quality in this species.  相似文献

The addition of cryoprotectants during the freezing of semen in liquid nitrogen protects spermatozoa from the negative influence of freezing. Every species needs an appropriate cryoprotectant that has to be experimentally selected. Semen obtained from five perches was diluted with the Kobayashi buffer solution at 1:9 ratio. To determine the influence of cryoprotectants on spermatozoa motility parameters, the same type of buffer solution was applied with the addition of methanol, dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) and dimethylacetamide (DMA) using the concentration of 10, 5, 2.5 %, respectively, glycerol (15; 7.5 %), sucrose and trehalose (0.45; 0.225; 0.113 M). After the preparation of such tests, parameters of spermatozoa motility were measured, using the CASA system (Image House CRISMAS Company Ltd.). Among used cryoprotectants, methanol did not cause any effect on the sperm motility parameters. The lowest percentage concentrations of DMA, DMSO, glycerol, sucrose and trehalose did not significantly influence the percentage of motile spermatozoa. Higher concentrations of these compounds considerably lowered all motility parameters. As for glycerol and saccharides, their addition resulted in the lowering of the spermatozoa motility possibly due to a higher viscosity of the solution. However, DMA and DMSO were most probably toxic to perch sperm cells. The obtained results indicate that the best cryoprotectant to be used with perch spermatozoa is methanol.  相似文献

The aim of this study was to develop a protocol for semen storage of piracanjuba (Brycon orbignyanus) by both cool storage at 4 °C and cryopreservation at − 196 °C. Semen was diluted in some fish semen extenders (Exp. 1) or in extenders combined with the antibiotic gentamycin sulfate (Exp. 2) and stored at 4 °C. Sperm motility was estimated every 24 h. Then, the effects of egg yolk (0 and 5%), cryoprotectants (dimethyl sulphoxide — DMSO, methanol, and methylglycol) and extenders (NaCl 154 mM, BTS™ Minitub and M III™ Minitub) on semen cryopreservation were evaluated (Exp. 3). Semen was added to each of eighteen cryosolutions (2 yolk concentrations × 3 cryoprotectants × 3 extenders), aspirated into 0.5-mL straws, frozen in nitrogen vapor (Taylor-Wharton, CP 300, “dry shipper”) and stored at − 196 °C. Sperm motility was evaluated after thawing at 60 °C-water bath for 8 s. The three cryosolutions that produced the highest post-thaw sperm motility were used again to freeze semen. Post-thaw semen quality was then evaluated under three tests: sperm motility, the percentage of live spermatozoa and hatching rate (Exp. 4). Piracanjuba semen diluted (1:10 total volume) in NaCl 200 mM or in Saad solution (NaCl 200 mM, Tris 30 mM) maintained motility above 35% for as long as 7 days, at 4 °C. Motility of only 7% was observed on undiluted semen after 3 days at 4 °C. There was neither beneficial nor detrimental effect of gentamycin on sperm motility at 250 μg/mL. Egg yolk addition to the cryosolution was beneficial in samples cryopreserved in NaCl 154 mM and in M III™, but detrimental for samples cryopreserved in BTS™. Methylglycol was the most effective cryoprotector compared to DMSO and methanol. Motility and percentage of live spermatozoa were similar among semen cryopreserved in NaCl–yolk, M III™–yolk and BTS™, all containing 10% methylglycol, but lower than fresh control. Hatching rates of eggs fertilized with sperm cryopreserved in NaCl–yolk or BTS™ were higher than for eggs fertilized with sperm cryopreserved in M III™–yolk, but lower than control fertilizations. The semen cryopreservation protocols developed here will be used to set up a gene bank for endangered piracanjuba populations.  相似文献

Abstract

Two freezing techniques (straws and pellets), three cryo-protectants (DMSO, glycerol, and DMA) in four concentrations, and several extenders were tested to determine their suitability for cryopreservation of northern pike, Esox iucius, sperm. Activity of aspar-tate aminotransferase (AspAT) and acid phosphatase (AcP) in cryo-preserved milt was determined. Fertilization ability of cryopreserved milt was affected by the freezing technique, by type and concentration of cryoprotectant, as well as by the kind of extender used. These factors also influenced AspAT and AcP activity assayed in cryopreserved sperm. Extender containing 0.6 M sucrose + 15% DMSO + 10% egg yolk was most suitable for cryopreservation of pike sperm in pellet form (90.5% of eyed eggs, as compared to control group, which was 89.1%).  相似文献

The aims of this study were to describe the fresh spermatozoon ultrastructure using scanning and transmission electron microscopy and to improve the sperm cryopreservation methodology for the freshwater fish pirapitinga Brycon nattereri. Extenders (BTS? and NaCl), straw volumes (0.5 and 4.0 mL), thawing temperatures (30 and 60 °C) and activating agents (0.29% NaCl and 1% NaHCO3) were tested. Methylglycol was used as a cryoprotectant agent and sperm was frozen in nitrogen vapour (dry‐shipper). Post‐thawed sperm motility rate, motility quality (score 0=no movement; 5=rapidly swimming spermatozoa), duration of motility and spermatozoon morphology were evaluated. Fresh spermatozoon was 35.06 μm long, the head was ovoid (2.00 × 1.22 μm) with no acrosome, the midpiece was 2.15 μm long and the flagellum was 30.90 μm long with the typical 9+2 axoneme arrangement. Post‐thawed sperm motility rate (70–79% motile sperm), motility quality (score 3.1–3.7) and morphology (9.3–11.6% abnormal spermatozoa) were not affected by any of the parameters tested. The duration of sperm motility was longer when triggered in 1% NaHCO3 (392–1031 s) compared with 0.29% NaCl (144–338 s). Brycon nattereri sperm cryopreserved under the conditions described above yields over 70% motility and should last long enough to fertilize oocytes, even after 2 years of freezing.  相似文献

Decrease in the quality and quantity of Atlantic halibut, Hippoglossus hippoglossus L., semen towards the end of the reproductive season hampers production of good-quality embryos. Therefore, cryopreservation of spermatozoa is a method showing potential to facilitate controlled reproduction in Atlantic halibut. The present study aimed at establishing the appropriate cryopreservation procedure. We tested 20 extenders composed of four various diluents and five cryoprotectants (DMSO, DMA, methanol, propylene glycol, and glycerol) to determine the best extender. Then, we examined cryopreservation quality using various methods of loading and various volumes of cryopreserved samples. In most of the tested variants, sperm diluted with an extender showed high motility after 24-h incubation despite the high osmotic pressure of the extender. Modified turbot extender (MTE) was the best of the tested diluents, securing the highest post-thaw motility (P < 0.05), and DMSO, DMA, and methanol were the best cryoprotectants (P < 0.05). There was no significant effect of 15-min equilibration of semen in MTE-based extenders prior to freezing on post-thaw motility (P > 0.05). MTE-based extender was chosen as the most suitable. Semen cryopreserved in straws, Eppendorfs or Ziploc bags in volumes ranging from 0.25 to 20 ml showed similar high fertilization ability. Survival of larvae produced with the cryopreserved sperm did not differ from controls produced with freshly collected sperm. Motility 3 h after thawing was high but depended on the type of cryoprotectant and the volume of cryopreserved sperm (P < 0.05). The developed cryopreservation procedure has been applied at our Atlantic halibut breeding station for seed production.  相似文献

The effects of extender composition and freezing rate on motility and fertility of frozen‐thawed Arctic char, Salvelinus alpinus, spermatozoa were investigated. Three freezing rates, two semen diluents and three cryoprotectants were tested. Semen frozen in 0.3 mol L?1 glucose diluent with 10% methanol as a cryoprotectant or in a diluent described by Lahnsteiner with 10%N,N‐dimethylacetamide (DMA) resulted in the highest sperm motility. Fertility was the highest for semen frozen in a glucose–methanol extender but was not significantly different than that for semen frozen in Lahnsteiner's diluent with 10% DMA. Dimethyl sulphoxide (DMSO) at 10% was a relatively ineffective cryoprotectant with either semen diluent. Semen frozen at 6 cm above the surface of liquid nitrogen resulted in a higher post‐thaw sperm motility and fertility than semen frozen at 5 cm. The addition of 7% fresh egg yolk to glucose diluent containing methanol or DMSO did not improve the fertility of frozen‐thawed spermatozoa. However, the addition of 7% fresh egg yolk to glucose–DMA extender significantly improved the fertilization percentages of frozen‐thawed spermatozoa. In conclusion, dilution of semen 1:3 in 0.3 mol L?1 glucose with 10% methanol and freezing 6 cm above the surface of liquid nitrogen (freezing rate of 40±8°C min?1, mean±SD from ?5 to ?55°C) is a promising protocol for cryopreservation of Arctic char semen.  相似文献

Four experiments were designed to evaluate the effects of osmolality, cryoprotectant, and equilibration time on striped bass sperm motility. In the first experiment, solutions of NaCI or KCI with osmolalities ranging from 0 to 700 mmol/kg were tested on sperm activation. Over 60% of the sperm were activated by isotonic NaCI and KCI solutions with a treatment osmolality of 350 mmol/kg. Sperm remained motile until osmolality increased to 600 mmol/ kg. In the second and third experiments, Extenders 1, 2 and 3 with osmolalities of 350, 500, and 600 mmol/kg, respectively, were tested. Sperm samples stored in Extender 2 showed significantly higher ( P 0.01) sperm motility after 10 min of exposure as well as greater ( P < 0.01) post-thaw motility when compared to samples stored in Extenders 1 and 3. In the fourth experiment, two trials were carried out to evaluate the effects of cryoprotectant and equilibration time. In the first trial, methanol with a concentration of 5% and 10% yielded the highest ( P < 0.05) sperm motility prior to freezing at all equilibration times examined. However, 5% DMSO yielded the highest ( P < 0.01) post-thaw motility (38 ± 3.6%). DMSO with concentrations of 10% and 15% resulted in 17 ± 2.3% and 6 ± 1.0% post-thaw motility, respectively. Both methanol and DMA, at all concentrations tested, resulted in less than 10% post-thaw motility. In the second trial, four DMSO concentrations with three different equilibration times were examined. We observed a significant ( P < 0.001) interaction effect between DMSO concentration and equilibration time. Post-thaw motility was significantly greater ( P < 0.01) with a concentration of 5% DMSO at all equilibration times examined, compared to 1.25, 2.5, and 10% DMSO. An average post-thaw motility of 40 ± 2.9% was achieved after 10 min equilibration using 5% DMSO.  相似文献

The dourado, Salminus brasiliensis, is an important fish in South American river basins. The fish‐farming potential and concerns for its conservation in watersheds has stimulated studies with this species. This study compared the effect of different dilutions of two cryoprotectant solutions on the quality of cryopreserved dourado sperm (duration of motility/motility rate) post‐thawing using three different activating solutions. The cryoprotectant solution ACP‐104 was compared with the cryoprotectant solution most commonly used for dourado, which consists of a mixture of dimethyl sulfoxide, glucose, egg yolk, and distilled water. The semen was mixed following dilutions of semen : cryoprotectant solution: 1:3, 1:9, 1:15, 1:21, and 1:27. The cryopreserved samples were activated using distilled water, 0.45% NaCl or 1% NaHCO3. The results showed differences in thawed semen using the different activating solutions and cryoprotectant solutions. The glucose‐based cryoprotectant not only resulted in sperm motility equal to or better than that produced by ACP‐104, but the quality was not affected by the dilution. However, the sperm quality improved with increasing dilutions for ACP‐104. Under the conditions tested, the standard cryoprotectant solution is recommended for the cryopreservation of dourado semen because it requires a lower solution volume and, therefore, reduced storage space for the same volume of semen.  相似文献

In two trials, Arctic char (Salvelinus alpinus) semen was frozen in 0.5 mL straws using extenders consisting of 0.3 M glucose and 10%, 12.5% or 15% methanol. Cryopreserved semen was thawed by immersing straws in 25 °C water for 17 s (11.6 °C s?1) or in 5 °C water for 60 s (3.3 °C s?1). The viability of the frozen–thawed semen was measured by determining post‐thaw motility and sperm membrane integrity. Two fertility trials were also conducted. There was no effect of trial or thaw rate on post‐thaw sperm viability or fertility. Use of 15% methanol in the extender resulted in the highest overall percentage of sperm motility and fertility. Use of 12.5% methanol as a cryoprotectant resulted in a higher per cent post‐thaw motility and a lower percentage of dead cells than did 10% methanol. Thus, levels of methanol higher than the commonly used 10% are beneficial for cryopreserving Arctic char sperm.  相似文献

Cryopreservation of sea cucumber Apostichopus japonicus (Selenka) sperm   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  
A simple and convenient method for the cryopreservation of sea cucumber Apostichopus japonicus (Selenka) sperm was tested in the present study. The highest motility (76.7±2.9%) of post‐thawing sperm was obtained in 15% dimethyl sulphoxide (DMSO) with a 1:9 dilution (semen volume to DMSO volume) when 0.5 mL semen–DMSO mixture was frozen at 6 cm above liquid N2 in a closed styrofoam box. After thawing, sperm cryopreserved in glycerol almost lost motility entirely. Although there was no significant difference in percentage of motile sperm between 15% and 20% DMSO, the duration of sperm motility of 15% DMSO group was longer than that of 20% DMSO group. The motility of post‐thawing sperm enhanced when the dilution ratio of semen increased from 1:1 to 1:9. Morphological changes such as the loss of mitochondria, swollen plasma membrane and broken or rolled‐up tails were observed in post‐thawing sperm using an eosin–nigrosin staining. The fertility of cryopreserved sperm was significantly lower than that of unfrozen sperm. The 10‐fold increase in sperm to egg ratio resulted in double fertility for cryopreserved sperm, and about 70% fertility relative to the control.  相似文献

Cryopreservation of sperm in marine fish   总被引：10，自引：0，他引：10  
Since the first work of Blaxter in 1953, fish sperm cryopreservation has been attempted on about 30 marine species. The present paper reviews the techniques used and the results published in these species. Particular attention is paid to the handling procedure of sperm before freezing, the problems of semen ageing and semen contamination with urine. The quality of frozen–thawed semen was evaluated using previously standardized biotests, such as a two‐step motility activation technique adapted for the different species and fertilization assays using a discriminating insemination technique. Most extenders used in marine fish are saline or sugar solutions. From the investigated cryoprotectants, dimethyl sulphoxide (DMSO) generally leads to the best results. Cooling rates range from 8 °C to 99 °C min?1; the thawing rate is generally high. Compared with freshwater species, a high percentage of spermatozoa survives cryopreservation. Therefore, and because of the simplicity of the techniques, the cryopreservation of marine fish sperm is suited for application in aquaculture.  相似文献

The effects of four cryoprotectants (methanol, MeOH; dimethyl sulphoxide, DMSO; dimethyl acetamide, DMA; and ethylene glycol, EG), three extenders (calcium‐free Hanks' balanced salt solution, C‐F HBSS, Hanks' balanced salt solution, HBSS and sodium chloride, NaCl) and two different freezing procedures (one‐ and two‐step) on the cryopreservation of striped catfish (Pangasius hypophthalmus (Sauvage)) sperm were investigated. Sperm were frozen using a controlled‐rate freezer in 250 μL straws and stored for 2 weeks in a liquid nitrogen (LN2) container. They were then airthawed at room temperature, and fertilization, motility and viability were assessed. The highest fertilization rate of 41% (81% of control) was achieved with the combination of 12% DMSO and 0.9% NaCl using a one‐step freezing procedure (10°C min?1). Also, DMA resulted in a higher fertilization rate (30% or 51% of the control) than MeOH (18% or 38% of the control) or EG (8% or 12% of the control). In addition, the three extenders used did not affect fertilization rates after cryopreservation with each cryoprotectant. There were no significant differences among the three cryoprotectant concentrations and between the one‐ and two‐step freezing procedures. However, fertilization rates of cryopreserved sperm were significantly lower than the controls (P<0.05). The results of this study indicate that high fertilization rates of striped catfish eggs can be achieved using cryopreserved sperm when frozen at 10°C min?1 in DMSO or DMA with either 0.9% NaCl or C‐F HBSS.  相似文献

The effects of cryopreservation on the viability, morphology and capability of spermatozoa in Atlantic cod, Gadus morhua L., were studied. The sperm was cryopreserved in straws using Hanks' balanced salt solution, hens' egg yolks and glycerol in the vapor of liquid nitrogen. Straws of cryopreserved sperm were stored in liquid nitrogen and thawed in seawater (35 C) for 8 sec before use. The motility of cryopreserved sperm was low (range 8–19%) compared to motility before freezing (range 69–76%). The fertilization rate (range 94–95%) in control groups using fresh sperm was significantly higher (P < 0.05) than in test groups (range 48–72%). In cryopreserved sperm, a relatively high percentage (range 82–93%) of the spermatozoa had changes in morphology. Many spermatozoa had no mitochondria; when mitochondria were present, the observed number varied from one and five in cryopreserved spermatozoa, and from two and seven in noncryopreserved spermatozoa. In groups where cryopreserved sperm was used, the hatching rate was lower (range 18–38%) than in control groups (range 41–63%), indicating higher mortality during embryonic development. Paternal effects on progeny performance were noted in the proportion of abnormalities but no negative effects were identified in newly hatched larvae produced using cryopreserved sperm.  相似文献

In this study, the efficiency of a novel droplet vitrification technique along with different doses of fish antifreeze protein (AFP) type III on Persian sturgeon thawed spermatozoa quality (motility duration and motility percentage) was investigated. Semen of seven male individuals was pooled in equal volumes and diluted with 4°C Tris‐Hcl (100 mM), pH = 8 extenders containing 0, 5, 10, 15 μM of AFP type III in a ratio of 1:1 (semen/extenders). Treated semen was dropped into liquid nitrogen. Solidified droplets were stored for 2, 60 and 120 days and thawed by plunging them into a tube containing 5 mL Tris‐Hcl (100 mM), pH=8 with 1% BSA at 37°C. Motility duration in all treatments had no significant difference comparing to fresh sperm (P > 0.05), but their motility percentage was significantly lower. Treatment with 10 μM of AFP had significantly higher motility percentage (16.11 ± 0.5%) comparing to other treatments (P < 0.05). There was no significant difference between 0, 5, 15 μM of antifreeze protein treatments (P > 0.05), suggesting that antifreeze protein effectiveness are highly dose dependent, and dose of 10 μM is appropriate in Persian sturgeon spermatozoa droplet vitrification. Besides, the present technique obtained higher quality of spermatozoa comparing to its analogue techniques.  相似文献

Basic characteristics of the European smelt (Osmerus eperlanus) sperm are reported here for the first time. Smelt spermatozoa had a bullet-shaped head (1.42 μm length), a short midpiece and a long flagellum (27.72 μm). Two mitochondria were located along the flagella. The volume of smelt sperm was small (30-60 μl) and the duration of sperm motility was short (22 s in distilled water and 41 s in 20 mM sodium bicarbonate solution). Sodium chloride at concentrations ranging from 0-120 mM did not influence the percentage of motile spermatozoa but caused a steady increase in the duration of sperm movement. Potassium ions clearly reduced the percentage of motile sperm at a concentration of 10 mM. Spermatozoa were motile through a broad range of pH with an optimum from 7.5 to 8.5. Testicular spermatozoa had a different motility pattern compared to stripped spermatozoa (the latter exhibiting a reduction of motile spermatozoa by 30%, lower ALH and VCL and higher LIN and VSL). These results indicate that maturation of smelt spermatozoa occurring in sperm ducts is related not only to an increase of the percentage of motile spermatozoa but also to changes in the sperm motility pattern. Maintaining males with females resulted in stimulation of milt production. Our results indicate that European smelt sperm characteristics are similar to those of ayu (Osmeridae).  相似文献

This paper reports an initial trial to cryopreserve semen from two freshwater South American fishes, the curimbatá (Prochilodus scrofa) and the dourado (Salminus maxillosus). Motility and duration of motility were observed in curimbatá and dourado fresh sperm. Semen mixed with extender (0.8% NaCl) was frozen using vials (1 ml) with subsequent storage in liquid nitrogen. Samples were thawed in 1% NaHCO3 or in 0.8% NaCl solutions. Post-thawing motility and duration of motility were verified. A simple extender consisting of 0.8% NaCl plus 10% DMSO was able to initiate motility in fresh spermatozoa. The percentage of motile cells and duration of motility were similar in both thawing solutions, but lower than in fresh sperm.  相似文献

Experiments were performed to improve protocols for sperm cryopreservation of paddlefish (Polyodon spathula), a species for which there has been limited study. The first experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of two extenders (modified Tsvetkova’s extender: mT and modified Hanks’ balanced salt solution: mHBSS) in combination with methanol (MeOH) and dimethyl sulfoxide in two concentrations (5 and 10%) on the postthaw motility and fertilization rates of cryopreserved sperm. The highest postthaw motility (85 ± 5%) was observed when sperm were frozen using mT extender with 10% MeOH as cryoprotectant. Extenders (P = 0.0018) and cryoprotectants (P = 0.0040) each had a significant effect on the postthaw motility of paddlefish sperm. The highest fertilization (80 ± 3%) was found when eggs were fertilized with sperm frozen with mT extender in combination with 10% MeOH. However, there was no significant difference among fertilization rates when MeOH was used as a cryoprotectant in either concentration or in combination with either mT or mHBSS extenders. In the second experiment, 4000 eggs were fertilized with the pooled contents of five straws of thawed sperm (total volume of 1.25 mL) using mT extender in combination with 5% MeOH, and hatch rates as high as 79 ± 5% were observed. A third experiment was also conducted to clarify the role of MeOH concentration; however, no significant difference was found among fertilization and hatch rates when either 5 or 10% MeOH was used as a cryoprotectant. These results suggest that MeOH is a safe and reliable cryoprotectant for freezing of paddlefish sperm and obtaining viable postthaw sperm for consistent fertilization and hatch rates. Further, this experimental protocol is relatively simple and applicable for commercial hatchery production of paddlefish.  相似文献

The effects of extender composition, cryoprotectant, and freezing rate on post-thaw rainbow smelt Osmerus mordax sperm motility were examined, and the fertilization capacity of fresh and post-thaw sperm were compared. The highest post-thaw motility (75%) was obtained when milt was diluted 1:3 with an extender containing 600 mM sucrose supplemented with 10% dimethyl sulfoxide and 1.5% bovine serum albumin and frozen at a rate of –20 C/min. Post-thaw motility for sperm stored in this extender was similar to fresh sperm and did not change after 90 d of storage. Furthermore, there were no differences in fertilization rate or embryo survival to the eyed stage between fresh and post-thaw sperm frozen in this extender. The lowest post-thaw motility was observed when sperm were frozen with methanol at a rate of -30 C/min. Refrigerated sperm diluted 1:3 with the 600 mM sucrose extender remained motile for 30 d. These data demonstrate that rainbow smelt spermatozoa can be effectively used following short and long-term storage using a simple, sucrose-based extender.  相似文献
