Ultrastructure of carp Cyprinus carpio spermatozoa after cooling, dilution and freeze-thawing
On the basis of the results obtained the authors propose that high susceptibility of the carp spermatozoa to osmotic exposures is apparently due to some particular features of the fine structures of their membranes and to their expected probably low heterogeneity.

CryoLetters is a bimonthly international journal for low temperature sciences, including cryobiology, cryopreservation or vitrification of cells and tissues, chemical and physical aspects of freezing and drying, and studies involving ecology of cold environments, and cold adaptation
The journal publishes original research reports, authoritative reviews, technical developments and commissioned book reviews of studies of the effects produced by low temperatures on a wide variety of scientific and technical processes, or those involving low temperature techniques in the investigation of physical, chemical, biological and ecological problems.
