Standardized Sperm Cryofreezing Technique for Caspian Sea Sturgeons (Huso huso, Acipenser persicus, Acipenser stellatus, Acipenser nudiventris)

Abstract

Sturgeons, considered `living fossils,` face extinction due to various factors, according to the International Union for Conservation of Nature's Red List. The present study describes a uniform sperm cryopreservation method for the endangered Caspian Sea sturgeon species, which are beluga (Huso huso), Persian (Acipenser persicus), stellate (Acipenser stellatus), and ship (Acipenser nudiventris) sturgeons for both artificial reproduction and ex-situ conservation attempts. For this aim, sperm samples were diluted 1:1 in extender composed of 118 mM Tris buffer (pH=8) and 23.4 mM sucrose-based extender containing 15% DMSO and equilibrated for one hour at 4°C. Then, sperm samples were placed into 0.50-ml straws and multi-stage cooling was applied to freeze with the help of a programmable freezer with an accuracy of ±0.1C/min, and finally stored in liquid nitrogen (-196C) tank. Thawing was performed at 40°C water baths for 25 s. The results indicated that storage for two years resulted in a 24.7% fertilization rate for the stellate sturgeon, while the Persian sturgeon had a remarkable rate of 58.2% after five years storage.
