To save endangered salmon, scientists use 20-year-old frozen sperm (CBC News)

September 17, 2019

“In an effort to restore dwindling salmon stock, the Spruce City Wildlife Association (Facebook Page) has partnered with the Carrier Sekani Tribal Council in Prince George to use 20-year-old cryogenically frozen salmon sperm to fertilize salmon eggs”.

Christina Ciesielski, fisheries program manager for the Carrier Sekani Tribal Council, said it decided to try using the salmon milt it had been storing for 20 years after having it tested for motility and discovering it was still 80 per cent viable.
