1st Edition
Cryobiology for South American Neotropical Fish Species
The book presents updated information on the cryopreservation of semen, embryos, germ cells and ovarian follicles of neotropical fish from South America. The chapters address the importance of developing germplasm banks of South American fish, both for commercial production and for conservation of ichthyofauna. This book has been designed mainly to provide a historical review of the 40 years of reproductive cryobiology research on South American fish species. The work is aimed at students, researchers and technicians involved in the areas related to the book's theme. The editors invite the readers to delve into dense technical knowledge, developed by renowned researchers.

Biography
Dr. Danilo P. Streit Jr., Professor at the Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, focuses on cryobiology to develop solutions for population reconstitution and aquaculture viability. With projects in electricity generation and strong partnerships worldwide, his research resulted in 120+ publications and training for 40+ postgraduates. Currently, he concentrates on a strategic plan for conserving South American fish Genetic Resources.
Dr. Tiantian Zhang, Deputy Dean of Research, is internationally recognized for her work in fish gametes and embryos cryopreservation. With interests in reproductive cell cryopreservation's impact and applications in biomedicine, conservation, and aquaculture, she has 150+ publications, 100+ conference presentations, and has supervised 30+ PhDs. Dr. Zhang secured substantial funding from the UK, Wellcome Trust, and EU Research Councils, and holds prestigious positions in cryobiology societies. Her contributions earned her recognition by the Society of Cryobiology in 2016.
Dr. Estefania Paredes, Professor at the Universidade de Vigo, Spain. Her work is centered about the development of cryopreservation protocols for a wide variety of cell types and species of aquatic animals. Her research resulted in over 50 publications, and training of over a dozen students so far. Currently, Dr. Paredes is the president of the Sociedad Española de Criobiología and her research is focused on development of cryopreservation protocols for marine organisms.
