Experiments were carried out to investigate the effect of five extenders (sucrose, glucose, fructose, KCl and a saline carp sperm extender) and two cryoprotectants (dimethyl-sulfoxide (DMSO) and methanol) on the cryopreservation of common carp sperm. Freezing of sperm using glucose extender and methanol as cryoprotectant resulted in the highest post-thaw motility, fertilization as well as hatching rates (63 ± 9%, 74 ± 15% and 67 ± 17% vs. 87 ± 5%, 84 ± 14% and 69 ± 14% using fresh sperm, respectively). In general, sugar-based extenders combined with methanol as cryoprotectant yielded higher motility, fertilization and hatching rates than ionic extenders in combination with DMSO. The jelly-like agglutination observed after thawing in samples frozen with sugar-based extenders did not reduce fertilization and hatching rates. Frozen–thawed sperm samples were able to successfully fertilize 10 g (8000) eggs.  相似文献

Our study assessed the efficiency of a formulated new extender in maintaining viability and morphological integrity of Colossoma macropomum spermatozoa under chilling storage. Semen was diluted in the test extender and BTS? (Beltsville Thawing Solution) and exposed to a short‐term storage at 4.6 ± 0.6°C for 96 hr. Both extenders were able to maintain 17% ± 8% motile spermatozoa by the end of experiment. Sperm dilution in test extender did not affect the morphologically normal cells (61% ± 6%) up to 48 hr of chilling, being higher than in BTS? (50% ± 6%) (p < 0.05). After 96 hr, samples kept in the test extender had 50% of normal spermatozoa, whereas those kept in BTS? presented only 38% of normal cells. Chilling storage increased the incidence of cells with strongly coiled flagella in BTS?. Our study is the first to evaluate in detail the spermatozoa morphology as indicative of C. macropomum semen viability. The new extender was able to protect the spermatozoa against increase in coiled flagellum injuries.  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

Experiments were carried out to develop an optimal cryopreservation protocol for tench sperm by testing the fertilizing capacity and motility parameters including progressive motility, curvilinear velocity (VCL) and linearity (LIN) of cryopreserved sperm. Three experiments were designed to this aim: first experiment where we tested the effects of two extenders (sugar‐based Grayling and ion‐based Kurokura 180) and two cryoprotectants (DMSO and methanol) on fertilization and hatching success; second where we tested the effect of cryoprotectant type (methanol or DMSO) in different concentrations (5%, 10% and 15%) on fertilization and hatching success; and third where we tested the effect of two cryoprotectants (methanol and DMSO) on sperm motility parameters (progressive motility, VCL and LIN) after 4 h post‐thaw storage (4°C). Sperm prepared with the sugar‐based Grayling extender displayed better fertilization and hatching rates independently of the applied cryoprotectant most likely due to glucose present which acted as an external cryoprotectant. Concerning cryoprotectant concentrations, the use of 10% methanol yielded the highest fertilization (85 ± 15%) and hatching (80 ± 13%) rates, which were significantly higher than in all other groups. During the post‐thaw storage time, 5% methanol, 10% methanol and 5% DMSO groups had significantly higher motility parameters than other groups and we observed no significant decline in any of the parameters during the storage time. Overall, we found that a sugar‐based extender in combination with methanol as cryoprotectant is suitable for the cryopreservation of tench sperm and allows storage of cryopreserved sperm for up to 4 h post thaw.  相似文献

Black sea bass Centropristis striata L. are protogynous hermaphrodites that develop and spawn as females before changing sex to male. Since all fish eventually become males, determining the relationship between sperm production, sperm quality and seasonal changes in plasma levels of testosterone (T) and 11‐ketotestosterone (11‐KT) could be useful for identifying appropriate males to maintain as broodstock. Milt and blood samples were collected three times during an 8‐week spawning season. Milt volume (3.5±0.76 mL kg?1), sperm density (3.2 × 108± 0.31 cells mL?1), sperm production [11 × 108±3.4 cells kg?1 body weight (BW)] and sperm motility (80±0.6%) were at their highest during the first sampling interval and coincided with the highest 11‐KT levels (1.0± 0.11 ng mL?1). All of the sperm indices decreased to their lowest levels during the final 3 weeks of the study. Sperm viability was highly correlated (adjusted R2=0.84) with sperm motility. Sperm cryopreserved in modified Mounib's extender (MME) had the highest post‐thaw motility compared with two other extenders. Post‐thaw motility of sperm cryopreserved in MME was not different from fresh after 90 days of storage. There was no difference in fertilization rates between fresh (69±2.4%) and post‐thaw (67±4.1%) sperm samples taken from the same male or among males. These results demonstrate that the quality of black sea bass spermatozoa is higher earlier in the spawning season and that acceptable post‐thaw fertilization rates can be obtained from cryopreserved 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 aims of this study were to evaluate the efficiency of simple and complex extenders in prolonging the cold storage of sperm (Experiments 1 and 2) and to test the diluted‐cooled sperm in the best extender with regard to sperm quality parameters (Experiment 3) in the streaked prochilod, Prochilodus lineatus. In all the experiments, aliquots of 0.3 mL of sperm were diluted 1:10 in extenders and stored at 4–6 °C. Sperm diluted in simple extenders (NaCl and glucose solutions) yielded 0–26% sperm motility, whereas sperm diluted in complex extenders (BTS?, M III? and Androstar?) yielded 62–81% sperm motility on day 4 after cold storage. When Androstar? was further investigated, the following was observed on day 4: 53% motility with 94 s of duration; 47% live spermatozoa; 26–61% fertility rate; and 22–60% hatching rate. The use of Androstar? improves the sperm fertility of the streaked prochilod during a 4‐day storage period and can therefore be used to facilitate artificial reproduction.  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

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

Crappie, Pomoxis spp., are popular game fish throughout North America and are produced by public and private hatcheries. However, production is limited by a lack of information on tank culture and induced spawning methods. Development of techniques for storage of sperm and in vitro fertilization would increase flexibility in spawning. Therefore, techniques for sperm cryopreservation were examined in white crappie, Pomoxis annularis. Sperm from adult wild white crappie were used to evaluate sperm extender, cryoprotectant agent and concentration, and cooling technique based on post‐thaw sperm motility. Percent egg fertilization was also compared between sperm stored in the two best cryopreservation protocols and two different osmotic activator solutions. Sperm were cryopreserved using treatment combinations of two extenders (350 mOsmol/kg Hanks' balanced salt solution [HBSS] and 350 mOsmol/kg Ca2+free HBSS) and two cryoprotectants (dimethyl sulfoxide [DMSO] and methanol) at concentrations of 5, 10, and 15% that were cooled at four different rates: 5, 10, 20, and 40 C/min. Post‐thaw sperm motility and fertilization rates indicated white crappie sperm can be cryopreserved using either extender, cryoprotectants of either 5% DMSO or 10% methanol, and cooling at 40 C/min. A follow‐up experiment demonstrated sperm in suspensions on ice retained viability after overnight transport.  相似文献

The aim of this study was to optimize the cryopreservation protocols for the sperm of red seabream, Pagrus major. The 2‐mL cryovials and programmable freezer were employed for cryopreservation. Six extenders, six cryoprotectants in various concentrations ranging from 6 to 20% (v/v), four cooling rates, and three thawing temperatures were evaluated by postthaw sperm motility and fertility. The ratio of sperm to egg for postthaw sperm fertilization trials was experimentally standardized and was optimal at 500:1. The best motility of postthaw sperm (79.4 ± 4.7% to 88.6 ± 8.0%), fertilization rates (89.6 ± 2.9 to 95.6 ± 1.9%), and hatching rates (85.3 ± 5.1% to 91.4 ± 4.3%) were achieved when Cortland extender, dimethyl sulfoxide (15, 18, and 20%) or ethylene glycol (9, 12%) as cryoprotectants, 20 C/min as the cooling rate, and 40 C as the thawing temperature were employed. Moreover, the results on embryonic development were not significantly different between cryopreserved sperm and fresh sperm during incubation process. In conclusion, these methods of cryopreservation of red seabream sperm are suitable for routine aquaculture application and preservation of genetic resources.  相似文献

Meagre (Argyrosomus regius) is considered a potential candidate for aquaculture diversification in southern Europe. The main objective of this experiment was to develop a cold storage protocol for meagre semen to facilitate artificial reproduction techniques. Three extenders (non‐activating medium, 0.9% NaCl, and 0.9% NaCl with glycine and glucose) in three different sperm:extender dilutions (1:4, 1:9 and 1:19) were tested in a full factorial design. The quality parameters assessed along the storage time were the sperm motility, viable sperm percentage, adenosine triphosphate (ATP) content, and bacterial growth. The 0.9% NaCl and 0.9% NaCl with glycine and glucose extenders and the 1:4 and 1:9 dilutions maintained a higher sperm motility and a higher sperm linearity for a longer period time. Sperm viability was maintained at a higher value over a longer period with the 0.9% NaCl and 0.9% NaCl with glycine and glucose extenders. Sperm motility and viability appeared to be the main parameters showing the loss of semen quality during cold storage. Meagre semen demonstrated an ability to be stored for up to 10 days at 4°C when using 0.9% NaCl in a 1:4 dilution. These results contribute to a better understanding of the causes of fish semen quality deterioration during cold storage.  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

Yellow catfish (Pelteobagrus fulvidraco) is a candidate freshwater fish for aquaculture in China with its high consumer demand. The aim of this study was to examine the possibility of storage of the sperm of yellow catfish by cryopreservation in liquid nitrogen. Experiments were designed to investigate the effects of the different combinations of three extenders (Ringer extender, Kurokura-1 extender and D-15 extender) and three cryoprotectants (DMSO, Glycerol and Methanol) on the cryopreservation of yellow catfish sperm. Post-thaw sperm motility, fertilization and hatching rate were detected to evaluate the reliability of sperm cryopreservation. The results demonstrated that Ringer extender and 10% methanol was the best combination for protecting the sperm during freezing in liquid nitrogen by a three-step method and thawing in a water bath at 37 °C for 60 s. In this combination for cryopreservation, sperm maintained the highest post-thaw motility (65 ± 5%), fertilization (90.47 ± 3.67%) and hatching rate (88 ± 4%). And more interestingly, the fertilization and hatching rate were similar to those of fresh sperm (97.55 ± 2.74% and 92 ± 5%). Successful sperm cryopreservation techniques for yellow catfish have been developed for hatchery purpose.  相似文献

Fertilizability of cryopreserved and cadaveric fish spermatozoa was attempted in the freshwater catfish Pangasius sutchi. Cryopreservation of spermatozoa was done with three cryoprotectants for short time storage (30 days). Whereas the spermatozoa obtained from the cadaveric fish were stored at ?20°C (30 days) without any cryoprotectants. Cryoprotectant toxicity assay showed maximum motility of 88.53 ± 2.01% and viability of spermatozoa (96.19 ± 4.92%) with 15% of Dimethyl acetamide (DMA) at 15 min equilibration time. Whereas Dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) (15%) registered moderate level of motility and viability 79.23 ± 2.02% and 80.89 ± 2.1%, respectively. However, the methanol (MeOH) (20%) resulted in low percentage of motility (58.6 ± 0.9%) and viability (68.6 ± 0.9%). Scanning electron micrographs further showed no significant deformity on the surface topography of spermatozoa of cadaveric fish as well as cryopreserved with DMA (15%). The results indicated that 15% of DMA with hanks balanced salt solution (HBSS) extender at a dilution ratio of 1:10 at ?80°C proved to be suitable for cryopreservation of spermatozoa in P. sutchi. This may be due to the osmolality of HBSS similar to seminal plasma of P. sutchi. Further studies on motility, viability and fertility potential of spermatozoa revealed 73.62 ± 1.61%, 88.34 ± 1.05% and 54 ± 2.2%, respectively, with DMA (15%). On the other hand, cadaveric fish sperm registered 57.12 ± 2.32%, 63.45 ± 0.94% and 25.33 ± 1.53% of motility, viability and fertilizability respectively. Thus, this study augments the feasibility of using cryopreserved as well as cadaveric fish spermatozoa for the seedling production in the fresh water catfish P. sutchi.  相似文献

Three experiments were performed to develop protocols for cryopreservation of Persian sturgeon Acipenser persicus, sperm. In the first experiment, sperm from six males was individually split in three subsamples and cryopreserved using Modified Tsvetkova's extender (mT) supplemented with dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), methanol (MeOH), glycerol (Gly) and ethylene glycol (EG) at concentration of 5%, 10%, 15% and 20%. In the second set of experiments, the effects of six equilibration times (0, 5, 10, 20, 40 and 60 min) and dilution ratios (volume sperm: volume extender 1:0.5, 1:1, 1:2, 1:3, 1:5 and 1:10) and the additive advantage of bovine serum albumin (BSA; 0, 2.5, 5 and 10 mg mL?1) and ascorbic acid (0, 2.5, 5 and 10 U mL?1), on the post‐thaw survival of sperm (triplicate set of six fish) were evaluated. Then, sperm was diluted in 1:1 mT extender with 10 mg mL?1 BSA with selected cryoprotectants (15% MeOH and 10% DMSO) for 5 min. After a month of storage in liquid nitrogen, post‐thawed sperm motility; fertilization and hatching rate and viability of derived larvae were measured (Exp.3). Evaluation of cryoprotectants efficiency showed that MeOH 15% and DMSO 10% were suitable for cryopreservation of Persian sturgeon sperm. Gly and EG resulted in very low post‐thaw motility rates even at lowest concentration. No significant difference was observed among the four different equilibration times (0, 5, 10, 20 min) (P > 0.05) although higher equilibration times than 20 min resulted low post‐thaw motility (P < 0.05). The motility of frozen–thawed sperm did not significantly change when dilution ratio was increased from 1:0.5 to 1:3 (P > 0.05). However, higher dilution ratios (1:5 and 1:10) reduced the percentage of motile sperm. Supplementation of the cryoprotectant solution with 10 mg mL?1 BSA significantly improved post‐thaw motility (P < 0.05), but ascorbic acid did not improve post‐thaw motility (P > 0.05). The results of experiment 3 showed that the highest fertilization (30.2 ± 5.75) and hatching rates (28.2 ± 5.25) were observed when samples were frozen with 15% MeOH (P > 0.05). Our study indicates that the use of mT extender consisting of 10 mg mL?1 BSA in 15% MeOH diluted with sperm at 1:1 ratio for 5 min can be recommended cryopreservation method for Persian sturgeon sperm.  相似文献

Abstract.— Two experiments were designed to improve upon existing methods for cryopreserving striped bass Morone saxatilis , semen. In the first experiment, two extenders, two cryoprotectant concentrations, and two freezing rates were evaluated on the basis of post-thaw semen motility after 1, 7, and 30 d of storage at −196 C. Semen samples cryopreserved at a freezing rate of −40 C/m resulted in a significantly higher percentage of motile sperm ( P < 0.001) and longer duration of spermatozoa motility ( P < 0.001) than samples cryopreserved at a freezing rate of -30 Chin. Also, the cryoprotectant dimethyl-sulfoxide yielded a significantly higher percentage of motile sperm ( P < 0.001) and longer duration of spermatozoa motility ( P < 0.001) when a 5% concentration was used instead of 7.5%. In the second experiment, the two extenders from Experiment I were re-evaluated and a new extender, which was a modified version of Extender 1, was tested. The samples were cryopreserved at -40 C/min with 5% DMSO and thawed in a 25 C water bath. Spermatozoa motility and fertilization ability were evaluated, and semen cryopreserved in Extender 2 yielded the longest duration of spermatozoa motility ( P < 0.001). the highest percentage of motile sperm ( P < 0.001). and the highest percentage of fertilized eggs ( P < 0.002) in comparison to Extenders I and 3.  相似文献

The effect of extenders was studied on the cryopreservation of sperm from African catfish, Clarias gariepinus (Burchell). The following six basic extenders were tested: fructose, glucose, sucrose, NaCl, KCl solutions and the artificial seminal plasma of the African catfish. Each of these extenders was tested both with and without buffer systems (i.e. NaHCO3-CO2 and Tris-HCl) by using 10% dimethyl-sulphoxide (DMSO) as a cryoprotectant. The two-step freezing was carried out in a programmable freezer by using the following freezing rates: (1) 4 °C min–1 between 3 and –4 °C; (2) and 11 °C min–1 between –4 and –80 °C. The best post-thaw motility (25%) was achieved with 333 mmol L–1 fructose solution and NaHCO3 buffer. The fertilization experiments were carried out with unbuffered fructose and glucose extenders using various amounts of sperm and two fertilization methods: (1) dry and (2) wet. The best fertilization rates were achieved with 75 μL of sperm and wet fertilization with glucose extender, or 100 μL of sperm and dry fertilization in case of fructose – both methods fertilized 96% of all eggs.  相似文献

Sperm cryopreservation is an essential tool for long‐term storage of genetic resources for aquaculture fishes. The goal of this study was to develop an efficient and streamlined protocol for high‐throughput processing for sperm cryopreservation in Atlantic salmon, Salmo salar. The objectives were to evaluate: (1) osmolality of blood serum for determining extender osmolality, (2) effects of extenders for fresh sperm dilution and refrigerated storage, (3) effects of methanol and dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) on fresh sperm motility, and (4) motility and fertility after thawing. In this study, sperm samples were collected at a hatchery site in Canada and shipped to a freezing site located 2200 miles (3550 km) away in the USA. Evaluation of three extenders indicated that Mounib solution was suitable for diluting dry sperm for sample processing. Ten percent of methanol or DMSO was less toxic to sperm cells than was 15% within 30 min. Further testing with methanol at 5, 10, and 15%, and sperm solution : extender dilutions (v:v) of 1:1, 1:3, and 1:19 (at concentrations of 5 × 107, 3 × 108, and 1 × 109 cells/mL) indicated that methanol at 5 and 10% showed less toxicity to fresh sperm within 1 h at sperm:extender dilutions of 1:1 and 1:3. Post‐thaw motility of sperm cryopreserved with 10% methanol was significantly higher than that with 10% DMSO, and fertility reflected those results (0–1% in DMSO vs. 38–55% in methanol). Further evaluation of sperm cryopreservation with 10 and 15% methanol at sperm dilution ratios of 1:1, 1:3, and 1:19 indicated that post‐thaw motility in 10% methanol was significantly higher than that in 15% methanol, and post‐thaw fertility in 10% methanol at 1:1 and 1:3 dilution ratios had fertilization rates similar to that of fresh sperm controls. Sperm samples from 12 males cryopreserved with 10% methanol showed male‐to‐male variation in post‐thaw motility (0–36%). Overall, a simplified standard protocol was established for cryopreservation of shipped sperm of Atlantic salmon using extender without egg yolk and yielded satisfactory post‐thaw motility and fertilization rates. This procedure can be readily adopted by aquaculture facilities to take advantage of high‐throughput cryopreservation capabilities at remote service centers. Most importantly, this approach lays the groundwork for an alternative commercial model for commercial‐scale production, quality control, and development of industrial standards. Control of male variability and sperm quality remain important considerations for future work.  相似文献

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of Roswell Park Memorial Institute (RPMI) 1,640 medium on chilled storage of eggs and spermatozoa of rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss). After 3 days of storage, eggs in RPMI 1,640 media (pH 8.2, 9 and 10), Cortland medium and coelomic fluid were inseminated with fresh spermatozoa (Experiment 1). Eggs in RPMI 1,640 medium at pH 8.2 shown the lowest thiobarbituric acid‐reactive substances (TBARS, 0.053 ± 0.003 nmol/ml) and pH changes (from 8.20 ± 0.01 to 8.18 ± 0.01), the highest fertilization rate (82 ± 3%). Undiluted and diluted spermatozoa at ratios of 1:2 and 1:9 with RPMI 1,640 media (pH 8.2, 9 and 10) and Cortland medium were inseminated with fresh eggs (Experiment 2). Spermatozoa in RPMI 1,640 medium at pH 9 (1:9) caused the lowest TBARS content (0.037 ± 0.002 nmol/ml) and pH changes (from 9.00 ± 0.01 to 8.98 ± 0.01), the highest fertilization rate (77 ± 2%) and motility parameters. Based on Experiments 1 and 2, eggs and spermatozoa were stored for another 3 days in RPMI 1,640 medium at pH 8.2 and 9 (1:9) respectively (Experiment 3). Fertilization rate of storage eggs and spermatozoa in Experiment 3 was 79 ± 5%, showing successfully storage of rainbow trout gametes with the same medium.  相似文献
