Abstract

Amphibians are experiencing global declines, rendering artificial reproductive technologies of great interest. Little attention is given in the literature to the non-penetrating component of amphibian sperm cryodiluents; these are typically iso- or hypertonic. In this study the non-penetrating component of the cryodiluent (sucrose) was tested at two concentrations; 1 and 10% w/v, in combination with either 10 or 15% v/v dimethyl sulfoxide (Me2SO) in Litoria dentata (n=4). The responses of motility (non-motile, non-progressive and forward-progressive motility) and vitality were assessed.
