Subject: Re:Freezing Zebrafish Thanks to all of you for your answers regarding freezing zebrafish embryos. Here is a short summary of the answers I have received by e-mail so far:

The general consens seems to be that freezing fertilized zebrafish embryos is pretty much a waste of time. At least if one wants life-embryos after thawing. People have tried it -in vain - though chemical analysis might be possible.
