The aim of this study was to test if a cryopreservation procedure using methanol as an internal cryoprotectant and trehalose as an external cryoprotectant could be applied to rainbow trout sperm (Oncorhynchus mykiss). Additionally, the effects of potassium ions and Tris-HCl on post-thaw sperm motili...
