The preservation of fish sperm is still an area of research that is being developed. This technology has emerged as a widely used method for implementing artificial fertilization of species of economic significance, endangered species, or animals with unique genotypes. During the preservation process, fish sperm are exposed to significant temperature decline (cold stress). Cold stress commonly leads to the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Cold stress caused by preservation has been reported as a major contributing factor to inducing apoptosis in sperm.
