ABSTRACT
The development of sperm cryopreservation for Pangasius nasutus is necessary in order to serve the growing demand of this species through artificial fertilization and the preservation of valuable strains of male broodstocks. In the present study, the basic protocol of sperm cryopreservation for P. nasutus was established by identifying the optimal conditions for optimum cryoprotectant, toxicity of cryoprotectants, extenders, freezing condition and dilution ratio. Methanol (MeOH) at 10% concentration had the best post-thaw motility (26.3 ± 0.9%) and curvilinear velocity (VCL) compared to dimethyl acetamide and dimethyl sulfoxide. MeOH was the least toxic cryoprotectant; sperm suspended in 5 and 10% MeOH maintained motility up to 50 min. No significant differences were detected between the three types of extenders tested (0.9% sodium chloride, Calcium-free Hanks' Balance salt solution and ringer solution). P. nasutus sperm had a narrow range of optimal cooling rate. Significantly higher post-thaw motility was identified when cooling at 9.23 °C min-1, obtained by freezing at height of 14 cm above liquid nitrogen vapor for 7 min, showing lower cooling rate is suitable for this species. However, when cooling below and above the optimal cooling rate, post-thaw motility dropped drastically. There were no significant differences among the dilution ratios investigated, indicating the volume of cryodiluent at all tested ratios (19, 119 and 149) was sufficient for the protection of cells during the cryopreservation process. The development of the protocol for cryopreserved P. nasutus sperm will assist artificial seed production and provide an important tool for genetic and breeding research.
