POST-COOLING DAMAGE TO Piaractus mesopotamicus EMBRYOS AT DIFFERENT STAGES OF DEVELOPMENT

The present study investigated the effects of 6h- and 10h-storage at -8ºC on the quality and hatch rate of Piaractus mesopotamicus embryos at 4 stages of development. Embryos were exposed to a cryoprotectant solution, cooled down at a rate of 1ºC.min-1 to -8ºC, and stored at this temperature for 6h...
