The effects of storage on the fertility of salmonoid eggs and sperm have been studied. In these experiments mature eggs and sperm were stripped into dry sterile jars and stored for varying periods at low temperatures before testing their fertility with fresh genital products. The methods have been used and found to be feasible under field conditions. Eggs of the chum salmon, Oncorhynchus keta, were stored at temperatures of 2.5° to 5.8 °C. for 108 hours with an average infertility of less than 20%. The sperm of this species show a wide variation in their reaction to storage but may be retained for 36 hours in sterile jars with an average of less than 10% infertility. Data for the Kamloops (Salmo gairdnerii Kamloops) and cutthroat (Salmo clarkii lewisi) trout are confirmatory. Preliminary experiments indicate the feasibility of transporting eggs and sperm stored together in the absence of water.
