The developments of southern scientific center of the Russian academy of sciences in the field of cryopreservation of reproductive cells of fish

In the article the questions of low-temperature conservation of reproductive cells of fish by employees of Southern scientific center of the Russian academy of Sciences are considered. It was noted that it was possible to improve the method of freezing fish sperm, which shows consistently high results on the survival and activity of defrosted sperm (80-90 %). During the storage of samples of reproductive cells in liquid nitrogen the quality of them does not change for a long time. On the base of conducted researches a cryobank of the genetic material of fish was created.
