Two groups of pooled semen were diluted with one of two extenders; a control group was undiluted. The three groups were stored at 4 degrees C for 72 h. During preservation, spermatozoa motility (%) and duration of spermatozoa movement (s) were determined every 12 h. Following preservation, fertilization was carried out using the dry fertilization technique at 1 x 10(5) spermato-zoa/egg. The highest fertilization rates were 21 +/- 3.60% in May and 16.67 +/- 2.08% in June, both significantly higher than in the control. The highest hatching rates, 69.60 +/- 11.86% in May and 89.13 +/- 10.75% in June, did not significantly differ from the control.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccesscryopreservationCyprinus carpiomirror carpspermArticle5732072122-s2.0-27644527522Q4WOS:000233029900009Q4
