Cryopreservation of Scapharca broughtonii (Schrenck) Sperm

This study was conducted to investigate protocol standardization for spermatozoa cryopreservation of the Scapharca broughtonii (Schrenck). Among the freezing rates, freezing at a height of 2 cm above liquid nitrogen surface for 5 minute gave higher activity and survival rate. Among the various diluents, Ringer's solution was the best for S. broughtonii sperm cryopreservation. The suitability of cryoprotectants dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO), dimethylacetamide (DMA), glycerol and methanol were tested against three freezing rates. DMSO gave significantly higher activity and survival rates than others.
