Abstract
The development of reproductive tools in dusky grouper, a potential species for aquaculture production, emerges as important tool to decrease the number of wild males maintained in captivity. A cryopreservation protocol was previously described for this species although several constraints in terms of sperm quality were detected. Our work provided new evidences that cryopreservation protocols can be improved through the addition of certain additives and use of appropriate sperm containers. Specific sperm analysis was crucial to identify and establish the most suitable conditions for breeders management and species conservation purposes.
