Abstract

At present, a few biotechnology research involved fish embryo cryopreservation in Thailand was reported while international journals had many publications related with fish embryo cryopreservation being reported. However, there are waiting for the success. There are a number of obstacles for cryopreservation of fish embryo including size of embryo and egg yolk quantity (the main problem in embryo cryopreservation), membrane structure, permeability of compartment barriers and type of the egg, chilling injuries phenomena during cooling and thawing process. The important concepts to support the success were demonstrated including type of cryoprotectants and their concentration, egg yolk volume, space and membrane permeability, embryonic development stage, cooling, thawing rate and equilibration time. These factors should be studied for further development of fish embryo cryopreservation. Keywords: cryopreservation, fish embryo, obstacles, research development, ThailandKeywords: cryopreservation, fish embryo, obstacles, research development, Thailand
