Summary

VARIOUS CONCENTRATIONS OF METHANOL, ETHYLENE GLYCOL, 1-2 PROPANEDIOL, DMSO, GLYCEROL OR SUCROSE WERE TESTED AT ROOM TEMPERATURE ON 3 SPECIES OF BIVALVE EMBRYOS. KING SCALLOP EMBRYOS WERE SENSITIVE TO ANY CRYOPROTECTANT. METHANOL WAS THE LESS TOXIC ON PACIFIC OYSTER AND MANILA CLAM EMBRYOS. CRYOPROTECTANT-INDUCED INJURY CAN BE CONSIDERED TO BE BIOCHEMICAL FOR SCALLOP EMBRYOS AND BOTH BIOCHEMICAL AND OSMOTIC FOR OYSTER AND CLAM EMBRYOS.
