The book presents updated information on the cryopreservation of semen, embryos, germ cells and ovarian follicles of neotropical fish from South America. The chapters address the importance of developing germplasm banks of South American fish, both for commercial production and for conservation of ichthyofauna. This book has been designed mainly to provide a historical review of the 40 years of reproductive cryobiology research on South American fish species. The work is aimed at students, researchers and technicians involved in the areas related to the book's theme. The editors invite the readers to delve into dense technical knowledge, developed by renowned researchers.
Since accidentally discovering the ability of glycerol on protecting cells from freezing damage, many researchers have been pursuing to develop cryopreservation methods of a very wide range of cells and some tissues, and these have found widespread applications in biology and medicine. From the point of view of living organisms, cryopreservation is a useful tool for ex situ conservation of genetic resources together with its contribution on conservation of their biodiversity. Cryopreservation in Eukaryotes includes totally 12 chapters, which have been written by the expert researchers in the field. The chapters are a comprehensive collection of the most frequently used methods for eukaryotes. With this book, every researcher will better understand the principles, background, and current status of cryopreservation in particular organisms.
"This book aims to deliver to the reader updated information about the thematic biotechnique of cryopreservation of germ cells and gonads of South America Neotropical fish. The protocols development of cryopreservation for South American fish have been developed since the beginning approximately 40 years ago, as the concepts, equipment, techniques and analyses for the validation of the results also improved. The chapters' were planned with the objective of a narrative that shows to the reader the need and importance of a fish germplasm bank development, either for a commercial production or ichthyofauna conservation. Although the aim of the biobank use does not change in relation to its technical structure (semen diluted in a cryoprotectant solution associated to extender(s)), the practical application conceptually evolved"--
