Abstract(s)

Germ cell cryopreservation is a safe method to store and preserve genetic material. Cryobanks in aquatic species were developed with different aims, benefiting fish farming, from management of reproduction to genetic selection of sperm from males with high reproductive value. Research has been conducted on the development of protocols for new/problematic species, for commercial species to improve gamete quality during storage or for conservation purposes.
