Ef. Kopeika et al., METHOD OF EVALUATING GENETIC APPARATUS DEFECTS OF CRYOPRESERVED FISH SPERM DURING EMBRYO DEVELOPMENT, Cryo-letters, 15(4), 1994, pp. 245-250
A method of evaluating the injury to the genetic apparatus of fish cry
opreserved spermatozoa is suggested. It is based on the difference in
survival of androgenetic haploids, obtained after inseminating eggs, c
arrying X-ray-inactivated genome, with native and cryopreserved sperma
tozoa. The results obtained strongly suggest that, following cryoprese
rvation, genetic defects may be developed in a some carp spermatozoa.
