Abstract
This systematic review provides an overview of the history and current status of cryopreservation of fish sperm and a detailed evaluation of cryoprotocols using powdered milk. A literature search was performed in PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and SciELO databases. Twenty-nine articles were selected after excluding duplicate articles or articles that did not meet the eligibility criteria. Rhamdia quelen and Danio rerio were the most studied species. Slow freezing method, dry-shipper, freezing rate of −35.6°C/min, thawing in water bath (35.93°C ± 10°C), and 0.25 and 0.5 mL plastic straws were the main approaches evaluated. Methanol was the most used permeable cryoprotectant in combination with powdered milk, yielding the best results at 10% concentration. Motility rate was the main analysis performed after cryopreservation in virtually all studies, being subjectively evaluated by most authors. Powdered milk at 15% promoted the best results in the analyzed studies. For motility rate, the gains with the addition of powdered milk were observed in the orders Perciformes (Oreochromis mossambicus), Siluriformes (Pangasius pangasius, Pseudoplatystoma corruscans, and Pseudoplatystoma mataense), and Cypriniformes (Tor soro and Barbonymus gonionotus). For fertilization, gains were observed in the order Siluriformes (P. mataense) and Cypriniformes (T. soro). Sperm viability gains were observed in the orders Siluriformes (P. pangasius), Characiformes (Piaractus brachypomus), and Cypriniformes (B. gonionotus). The scientific evidences we present, in this study, may contribute and serve as a starting point for new and more refined studies to be developed in the field.Keywords
