Altering Fish Embryos with Aquaporin-3: An Essential Step Toward Successful Cryopreservation1
1 Sept 2002
Abstract excerpt
Fish populations are globally threatened by overharvesting and habitat degradation. The ability to bank fish embryos by cryopreservation could be crucial for preserving species diversity, for aquaculture (allowing circannual fish farming), and for managing fish models used in human biomedical research. However, no nonmammalian embryo has ever been successfully cryopreserved. For fish, low membrane permeability...
