Description
Summary:Cryopreservation of spermatozoa of grouper species supporting artificial insemination in production of fry has contributed to the grouper aquaculture industry. Grouper is a high‐value species in marine cage finfish culture and a major business for the aquaculture industry in South East Asia. The species contributes a significant value to the income of South East Asian countries such as Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines and Thailand. Hybrid grouper is a new candidate for marine finfish culture, and cryopreservation of grouper and giant grouper spermatozoa is important to support development of its production. This review article discusses the cryopreservation of the spermatozoa of grouper species specifically. Emphasis is placed on the protocols for implementation and implications of the cryopreservation of grouper spermatozoa in the marine finfish aquaculture industry.
