Problems of conservation and stable employment of biological diversity with the use of deep freezing methods for hydrobionts' genetic matter.

Author(s) : ANANIEV V. I.

Summary

The paper contains a short description of Russia's ichthyofauna. The author discusses the necessity of setting up a network of low-temperature genetic banks of hydrobionts (LTGBH) as an integral part of a strategy to solve problems of conservation of rare and disappearing species, populations of fish and other hydrobionts. The many years of investigation results gained by Russian and Ukrainian researchers in an interdisciplinary fish cryobank project are analysed. A strategy for the formation of genetic collections in the LTGBH is presented. Existing methods of cryopreservation of genomes and collecting of genetic information from deep-frozen genetic matter are assessed. It is demonstrated that many methodological problems of cryoconservation remain unsolved. Ways to overcome the existing obstacles are being explored.
