Summary
The fertility of cryopreserved Lates calcarifer sperm was studied to increase the availability of semen for routine fertilization of stripped eggs and to provide a tool for selective breeding. Semen diluted (1:4 v/v) and frozen (-196 deg C) with 5% DMSO or 10% glycerol (final concentration) as cryoprotectants was used to inseminate freshly stripped ova. Sperm held in liquid nitrogen for 90 days with DMSO yielded acceptable fertilization and hatching rates with semen-to-ova ratios of up to 1:100 (v/v), and produced fish with no apparent abnormalities over a 29-day period after hatch.
