The invention discloses a low-temperature preservation method of Octopus variabilis sperms and
spermatophore, the Octopus variabilis sperms adopt an ultralow-temperature
cryopreservation method, the Octopus variabilis sperms are protected by using a
cryoprotectant composed of a 0.6 mol /
L glucose solution
diluent and 20%
glycerol, the
diluent contains
nutrient substances, and the Octopus variabilis sperms have the characteristics of inactivation of sperms and small damage to sperms. The
cryoprotectant has the functions of a permeable
antifreeze agent and a non-permeable
antifreeze agent, so that the sperms are subjected to dual protection in the freezing process; the octopus variabilis
spermatophore is preserved at a low temperature, a 1.0 mol /
L glucose solution is used as a
spermatophore protection solution, the spermatophore structure can be maintained within one month, and high
sperm activity of octopus variabilis sperms can be maintained within a short period (one month). Based on requirements in experiments, two octopus variabilis
sperm preservation methods are provided and can be flexibly used, and
technical support is provided for preservation of octopus variabilis
germplasm resources and overcoming of the problem of asynchronous male and female development.
