Cryogenetics AS services

Consultancy Services

There are hundreds of aquatic species that are commercially farmed globally, and to date we have gained competence in sperm cryopreservation and fertilization of a few, but important fish species. There are still many more species to target for improvement of their reproduction performance in an artificial environment. This applies to segments of the aquaculture industry, gonvernmental or other bodies interested in the preservation of endangered species, and researchers working with fish as a model organism to bring medical science forward.

Gender Testing Services

Cryogenetics offers a DNA-based gender test for salmonids as part of the overall methods of improving the reproduction strategy of both ova and fish producers. A gender test gives the possibility to decide male or female selection at an earlier stage and optimize the ratio to be on-grown to become future broodstock. This method provides for considerable savings in terms of overhead as well as capacity by not having to grow extra fish through to the maturity stages. The test is performed on small tissue samples.
