Optimizing Equilibration Time to Enhance Post-Thaw Viability of Cryopreserved Zebrafish (Danio rerio) Ovarian Fragments

Maya L Wade, Matthew Kenneth Litvak

This study optimizes equilibration time for cryopreserving zebrafish ovarian fragments, finding that 60 minutes yields the highest viability in one experiment and 30 minutes is equally effective in another.

The effect of extended cold storage and the use of extenders on motility and swimming kinematics of shortnose sturgeon sperm

Kenzie H. Melanson, Matthew Kenneth Litvak

This study evaluates the impact of cold storage and extenders on sperm motility and kinematics of shortnose sturgeon, finding that extenders reduce motility decline and improve storage longevity.

First attempt to validate multiplex PCR with sex markers SSM4 and ALLWSex2 in long-term stored blood samples of eastern North American shortnose sturgeon (Acipenser brevirostrum).

Hajar Sadat Tabatabaei Pozveh, Salar Dorafshan, Tillmann J. Benfey, Jason A. Addison, Matthew Kenneth Litvak

This study validates multiplex PCR with SSM4 and ALLWSex2 markers for sexing long-term stored blood samples of shortnose sturgeon, showing reliable sex determination despite DNA degradation.

Exploring fractal dimensions on ultrasound of gonadal images for sex determination in shortnose sturgeon (Acipenser brevirostrum)

Keyvan Balazadeh, Matthew Kenneth Litvak

This study uses ultrasound and fractal analysis to differentiate gonadal tissues in shortnose sturgeon, finding significant differences in lacunarity between male gonads and female pinheads.
