ABSTRACT
In our study, a systematic development of a new large-scale sperm cryopreservation protocol was carried out in northern pike (Esox lucius). The effect of 2 sugar based (glucose and trehalose) extenders, 3 dilution ratios (13, 19 and 119) 2 vol straws (0.5 and 5 mL) and a 10 mL cryotube, 2 different cryopreservation methods (Polystyrene box-P. box and Controlled Rate Freezer-CRF), as well as 3 different thawing periods (3, 3.5 and 4 min) were investigated on the motility of thawed sperm. The glucose based extender showed significantly higher pMOT (13-18 ± 16%, 19-20 ± 13%, 119-16 ± 12%) at all dilution ratios than in the trehalose based extender (13-0.3 ± 1%, 19-1±1%, 119-4±2%). A similar tendency was recorded in VCL and STR at a ratio 13 and 19. No significant difference was measured in sperm movement between the P. box and CRF using the 0.5 mL straw. Similarly no significant difference was observed in all motility parameters with 10 mL cryotube frozen in CRF at a ratio 13-119. An effective and short thawing period (3 min) was experimentally specified for the 10 mL cryotube cryopreserved in the CRF. In all large-scale cryopreservation methods, high pMOT (straw CRF 57 ± 10%, straw P. box 50 ± 9%, cryotube CRF 41 ± 10%), and STR were measured, and no significant difference was recorded in all motility parameters. Our results demonstrate the effectiveness of our newly developed extender and the applicability of 3 different large-scale cryopreservation methods in pike sperm. Our protocols could be new prospective candidates for future exploitation in hatchery practice.
