Effect of Combinations of Sucrose and Cryoprotectants on the Survival of Catfish Embryos (Pangasidae hypophthamus)

Description
Summary:Although cryopreservation of embryos has been used in most terrestrial animals, the application of this technique has not been succeeded for aquatic animals. In this study, the authors investigate the effect of different combinations of sucrose (SUC, C12H22OH) and cryoprotectants (CPAs) on the survival of the catfish embryos (Pangasidae hypophthalmus) at low temperatures (4, 0 and -20 ℃) for short-term storage. For this aim, embryos with somites and optic cups were exposed to different combinations of sucrose with methanol (SUC + MeOH), 1.2-propylene glycol (SUC + PROH) and ethylene glycol (SUC + EG) at four concentrations ratios: (1) 0.5 M SUC + 0.5 M CPA; (2) 1 M SUC + 0.5 M CPA; (3) 0.5 M SUC + 1 M CPA; (4) 1 M SUC + 1 M CPA for 40 min at 4, 0 and -20 ℃. Embryos kept in water at room temperature (RT), 4, 0 and -20℃ were used as controls. The survival rate was expressed as a percentage of hatched embryos per total embryos treated. The results showed that the hatching rate declined significantly when embryos
