Abstract(s)

Artificial reproduction in aquatic animals usually involves the collection and handling of gametes both from males and females in a way that secures their quality and optimizes the fertilization event. There are innumerable specie- and family-specific protocols among the various aquatic species that inhabit bodies of water, from freshwater lagoons to seawater oceans. In that sense, this Special Issue aims to gather high-quality papers addressing different areas, focusing on gamete collection and handling, gamete storage (both shortand long-term storage), in vitro fertilization techniques, embryo development studies and the larvae management of different aquatic animals.
