Abstract
Detailed study was conducted on the effect of cryopreservation on spermatozoa of a marine
ornamental fish of the family Blennidae. The long-term preservation of spermatozoa of Istiblennius
edentulus was conducted with 5 different extenders in combination with 5%, 7.5% and 10%
concentrations of DMSO, Methanol and Glycerol as cryoprotectants. The best post thaw motility
was observed with Alsever's solution as extender and 5% Glycerol as cryoprotectant (88.12%motility
and 89.19% viability).
