High quality of sperm is essential to a high fertilization rate, especially post- cryopreservation. Assessment of sperm integrity, motility and energy reserves before cryopreservation is necessary for selection of milt with optimal fertilizing potential. We describe the effect of cryopreservation on the quality of black-lip pearl oyster, Pinctada margaritifera var. cumingii sperm. Evaluated quality indices of fresh and frozen/thawed P. margaritifera spermatozoa, included morphology, ultrastructure and motility characteristics relative to the energy content (ATP) and its capacity to be sustained by mitochondrial respiration. Morphology and ultrastructure were quantitatively evaluated using images obtained by optical microscopy assisted by the Image J... |

Cryopreservation is a useful tool for genetic improvement which has been applied to several bivalve mollusk species. It would allow to keep the gametes of selected individuals and to preserve ex-situ the biodiversity of wild populations of the black-lip pearl oyster Pinctada margaritifera threatened of standardization by the seed transfers between the islands in French Polynesia. The ability to cryopreserve spermatozoa would bring about significant benefits to the cultured black pearl industry. Sperm freezing supposes the control of different steps: preparation of breeders, sperm collection, evaluation of sperm quality and the freezing process itself. Broodstock conditioning in hatchery allows to obtain gametes from the pearl oyster. Sperm quality is... |

Cryopreservation is a valuable tool for genetic improvement programs. Several bivalve mollusc species have already been the subject of such programs and the Tahitian black pearl oyster industry is now planning the development of selective breeding for desirable traits in Pinctada margaritifera. The ability to cryopreserve spermatozoa would, therefore, offer significant benefits to the cultured black pearl industry. Spermatozoa were cryopreserved with CPA 0.7 M trehalose in 0.8 M Me2SO and a two-step freezing process was used: straws were first maintained in nitrogen vapour for 10 minutes, then directly plunged into liquid nitrogen and stored for one week before use. The viability of thawed sperm was 23 % lower than that of fresh sperm. When using thawed... |
