TL;DR: The most promising cryopreservation protocols for different cell types, embryos and larvae that could be applied in programs for genetic improvement, broodstock management or conservation of stocks to guarantee culture production are reviewed.

TL;DR: The semen cryopreservation protocols developed here will be used to set up a gene bank for endangered piracanjuba populations, and egg yolk addition to the cryosolution was beneficial in samples Cryopreserved in NaCl 154 mM and in M III™, but detrimental for samples cryop Reserved in BTS™.

TL;DR: In this paper, a computer-assisted sperm analyzer (CASA) system versus subjective microscropic examination as a means of assessing sperm motility was compared for streaked prochilod sperm.

TL;DR: It is shown that curimba semen can be successfully cryopreserved in a simple glucose solution combined with methylglycol as cryoprotectant, in 0.5-mL straws, yielding motility rates between 86% and 95% and fertilization rates between 47% and 83%.

TL;DR: Out-of-season sperm cryopreserved in glucose and methylglycol under the conditions described above is of high quality and can therefore be used to facilitate artificial reproduction procedures, as only females will need handling for hormonal induction and gamete collection during the spawning season.
