In Vitro Storage of Unfertilized Eggs of Scaly Carp (Cyprinus carpio) : Effect of Different Artificial Mediums and Storage Periods
Abstract
The present study was carried out in order to explore the effect of different artificial mediums and in vitro storage periods on fertilization, eyeing and hatching success of scaly carp (Cyprinus carpio) eggs. The batches of about 200 pooled eggs treated with 20-ml three different extenders (Ringer, Dettlaff and Cortland) and Ovarian fluid in 15-cm petri dishes, were stored at 22.5⁰C for 30, 60, or 90 min. The in vitro stored eggs were fertilized by adding of 50 μl sperm which showing motility higher than 80%, in each petri dishes end of the storage period. The highest fertilization rates were determined as 86% and 72% with the egg samples stored for 60 min in Cortland solution and for 90 min in Ovarian fluid respectively (p<0.05). The highest eyeing rate (80%) was determined in egg samples kept in Cortland solution for 60 min storage (p<0.05). Despite the best hatching rate (60%) of the egg samples determined with Ovarian fluid at 30 min storage, the Cortland solution was (48%) the best for 90 min (p<0.05). Results indicate that Cortland solution is the most suitable extender and can be substituted instead of Ovarian fluid for in vitro storage of scaly carp eggs.
