Aquaculture
We offer technology for the reproduction process, consultancy, audits and training to assist our clients with getting the most optimal results from their fish and to better utilise valuable genetic material
Conservation
Genetic back-up of endangered fish species is a valuable contribution to conservation programs and nature management. Cryogenetics offers tools to optimise the reproduction potential for each species of concern
Zebrafish
Zebrafish is an important model organism for biomedical research. Secure and cost-efficient back-up for valuable lines is important. Cryogenetics offers client-specific services with highest level of biosecurity.
Aquaculture
Increase efficiency
We are the world leading provider of cryopreservation services to help aquaculture companies obtain the highest possible utilisation of their fish’s reproduction potential, and a more efficient egg production. Getting maximum benefit from each of your genetically valuable broodstock is a tool that provides both cost savings on the bottom line, and helps create a more desirable fish for your market.
We provide the only industrial scale packaging, the patented SquarePack®
Consultancy - improve the reproduction process
A part of our consulting services include research and development at the request of our clients. We offer a wide range of services to improve your reproduction process and your results, including:
- storage experiments
- improvements during the reproduction process
- audits of current protocols at your facility
- investigations on egg handling and juvenile treatments
- quality assessments
Conservation
Cryogenetics - conserving biodiversity
One of our main partner is the Norwegian Environment Agency, formerly the Directorate for Nature Management. The Norwegian government has committed to a comprehensive biodiversity strategy with the aim of conserving the genetic diversity of wild salmonid populations in Norway. Since the start of this effort, broodfish have been collected from a number of rivers in Norway, and were a natural (or man-made) disaster to happen and decimate the wild stocks, individuals are available for re-stocking.
Let us be a part of your solution to conserving biodiversity

We will make you an IVF expert
Performing IVF on zebrafish may be challenging and requires extensive training and practice. When performing fertilisation with cryopreserved sperm, competence in IVF is essential. However, mastering IVF can be useful in other situations as well, such as establishing an SPF (Specific Pathogen Free) population in your own lab.

AquaBoost® OvaCoat for EGGcellent IVF performance
Specially designed for zebrafish (Danio rerio), AquaBoost® OvaCoat is a holding medium for eggs after they are stripped from the female for in vitro fertilisation (IVF) use. Zebrafish eggs are very fragile and egg quality rapidly deteriorates after stripping, often becoming unsuitable for IVF after just 5 minutes.
