Cryopreservation of Sea Urchin (Lytechinus pictus) Embryos and Development Through Metamorphosis

This paper describes a method to cryopreserve late gastrulae embryos of the sea urchin Lytechinus pictus, enabling their survival through metamorphosis into juvenile adults.

Cold Storage and Cryopreservation Methods for Spermatozoa of the Sea Urchin, Lytechinus pictus .

The paper develops methods to cryopreserve sperm from two sea urchin species, maintaining fertilization capacity and producing viable larvae after multiple freeze-thaw cycles.
