Short- and Long-Term Storage of Gametes

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Controlled Reproduction of Wild Eurasian Perch

Abstract

This section characterizes the importance of short and long-term storage of gametes as well as the theoretical background of successful storage of eggs and sperm. Considering eggs, a brief explanation on the effect of storage time on egg quality was described which turned into practical recommendations in this aspect. A detailed protocol of short-term sperm storage as well as a commercially applicable cryopreservation protocol are given.
