Simulation analysis of high-throughput oyster cryopreservation at three scales of production.

Cryopreservation and germplasm repositories offer a variety of potential benefits to aquaculture industries. Despite this, no comprehensive repository systems exist for any prominent aquaculture species. A species that could greatly benefit from the use of cryopreserved sperm and repository storage is the eastern oyster, .

Survival and growth of triploid eastern oysters, , produced from wild diploids collected from low-salinity areas.

Triploid Eastern oysters have been reported to suffer greater mortalities than diploids when exposed to low-salinity (<5) conditions in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico and Atlantic estuaries.
