Abstrakt: A systematic review was performed to summarize the scientific evidence and critically evaluate the effects of cryopreservation on sperm morphology in freshwater fish, and to assess the methodologies for sperm morphology classification. The search strategy was applied to four electronic databases (CAB Direct, Pub Med, Scopus, and ISI Web of Science). The main inclusion criteria involved studies on semen from freshwater fish subjected to the cryopreservation process and evaluation of sperm quality through morphology. The risk of bias was assessed with respect to randomization, allocation concealment, blinding, incomplete outcome data, and selective reporting. A total of 6 publications reporting sperm cryopreservation from 4 species with a total 74 fish individuals were included in this review. A high methodological variability among the results of the studies was observed due to the species-specific protocols and diversity of freshwater fish species studied. All included studies reported negative effects of cryopreservation on sperm quality, especially morphology, highlighting the increase in incidence of sperm abnormalities. However, only five studies statistically compared abnormalities between groups (fresh and cryopreserved sperm). Our results suggest the need to elaborate on a new morphological classification of fish spermatozoa, by considering the structure and physiology of fish sperm. This classification should be developed based on the sperm characterization and observing damage caused by different cryopreservation protocols.
