Description Although sperm cryopreservation has been carried
out successfully in a number of commercially
important aquatic species, particularly in some
teleost fish (see review of Rana in Muir & Roberts
1993) and also shellfish (Subramoniam 1993), the
technology is still not at the stage of advanced
commercial application that is seen in domestic
mammals. Cryopreservation of eggs and embryos,
of aquatic animals however, is a virgin field in
cryobiology and has not yet received any appreciable
amount of attention. The first successful attempt at
the cryopreservation of embryos of sea urchin was
reported by Asahina & Takahashi (1978). Later Zell
(1978) and Erdahl & Graham (1980) have reported
preliminary attempts to freeze the eggs of rainbow
trout.
