Issue Date: | 1-May-2017 | Journal: | General and Comparative Endocrinology | Abstract: | © 2016 Elsevier Inc. Vitrification was successfully applied to the sperm of two fish species, the freshwater Eurasian perch (Perca fluviatilis) and marine European eel (Anguilla anguilla). Sperm was collected, diluted in species-specific non-activating media and cryoprotectants and vitrified by plunging directly into liquid nitrogen without pre-cooling in its vapor. Progressive motility of fresh and vitrified-thawed sperm was evaluated with computer-assisted sperm analysis (CASA). Additional sperm quality parameters such as sperm head morphometry parameters (in case of European eel) and fertilizing capacity (in case of Eurasian perch) were carried out to test the effectiveness of vitrification. The vitrification method for Eurasian perch sperm resulting the highest post-thaw motility (14 ± 1.6%) was as follows1:5 dilution ratio, Tanaka extender, 30% cryoprotectant (15% methanol + 15% propylene-glycol), cooling deviceCryotop, 2 μl droplets, and for European eel spermdilution ratio 1:1, with 40% cryoprotectant (20% MeOH and 20% PG), and 10% FBS, cooling deviceCryotop, with 2 μl of sperm suspension. Viable embryos were produced by fertilization with vitrified Eurasian perch sperm (neurulation2.54 ± 1.67%). According to the ASMA analysis, no significant decrease in head area and perimeter of vitrified European eel spermatozoa were found when compared to fresh spermatozoa. | URI: | https://open.uns.ac.rs/handle/123456789/4187 | ISSN: | 00166480 | DOI: | 10.1016/j.ygcen.2016.05.010 |
