Supporting Aquaculture with Safe Salmon Preservation Solutions

Salmon is one of the most valued fish in global aquaculture. Known for its high-quality protein, omega-3 fatty acids, and widespread consumer demand, salmon plays a vital role in feeding millions of people worldwide. Whether it’s for commercial farming, breeding programmes, or scientific research, preserving salmon eggs and milt (sperm) is essential to ensure sustainable production and protect valuable genetics.

Cryopreservation is now a cornerstone of modern fish farming. By freezing salmon reproductive material, fish farms can maintain strong bloodlines, support seasonal breeding, and share genetics between locations without compromising quality. This approach also helps protect against unexpected losses caused by disease outbreaks, environmental stress, or transportation issues.

Cryolab’s CryoNest® Series of liquid nitrogen storage tanks are trusted across the aquaculture industry for long-term storage of fish gametes. With a constant temperature of –196°C, these tanks provide a stable environment to safely store salmon eggs and milt for extended periods. Designed for high-capacity use in hatcheries, labs, and breeding centres, the CryoNest Series ensures maximum reliability and minimal maintenance.

When it comes to transporting salmon reproductive material, maintaining low temperatures throughout the journey is non-negotiable. Cryolab’s CryoStork® Dry Shippers offer a robust and safe solution for moving samples locally or internationally. These dry shippers use vapour-phase liquid nitrogen and advanced insulation to protect contents during transit. Some models also feature temperature tracking for added assurance.

Preserving salmon genetics is not only about current production — it’s also about future-proofing aquaculture. By banking samples from diverse or high-performing strains, hatcheries can improve breeding outcomes and contribute to global food security. Cryolab is proud to support this mission with dependable cryogenic tools that safeguard salmon biodiversity.

Whether you’re managing a fish hatchery, leading a research programme, or supporting sustainable aquaculture, Cryolab is here to help. Our advanced cryogenic systems are designed to meet the strict demands of fish preservation, making salmon farming safer, more efficient, and more resilient.
