refrigerated storage of sperm would provide sperm transfer
between hatcheries for artificial insemination and allow hybridization of
selective breeding programs for stock improvement. These advantages
of chilled storage in fish sperm would lead to saving of manpower, time
and production cost. From the commercial point of view, synchronizing
the timing of obtaining good quality of eggs and sperm facilitates
production procedure and hatchery management. Due to deteriorated
egg quality after stripped-spawning, the storage of extender-preserved
sperm in advance ensures sperm quality and faster handling of sperm for
artificial insemination.
