Viability of dourado embryos cooled in different cryoprotectant solutions

O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar o efeito de diferentes crioprotetores na viabilidade de embriões de dourado (Salminus brasiliensis). Foram testadas dez soluções crioprotetoras. Para cada solução, 300 embriões foram selecionados na fase do fechamento do blastóporo, e mais 300 embriões foram utilizados como controle negativo. Após o resfriamento (‑8°C por 6 horas), os embriões foram reidratados diretamente na incubadora até a eclosão. O melhor resultado é obtido com solução crioprotetora com 9% de metanol associado a 17% de sacarose, o que resultou em taxa de eclosão de larvas de 67,06%.The objective of this work was to evaluate the effect of different cryoprotectants on the viability of dourado (Salminus brasiliensis) embryos. Ten cryoprotectant solutions were tested. For each solution, 300 embryos were selected at the closing of the blastopore stage, and 300 more embryos were used as a negative control. After cooling (‑8°C for 6 hours), the embryos were rehydrated directly in the incubator until hatching. The best result is obtained with the cryoprotectant solution containing 9% methanol associated with 17% sucrose, resulting in a larvae hatching rate of 67.06%
