	abstract = {Aquaculture is a globally significant food production industry. Aquaculture in New Zealand has grown rapidly over the past decade, and it is widely considered as an area of significant growth potential within the country{\textquoteright}s economy.  The  mussel industry is the biggest sector, followed by salmon, oyster and paua.  The Mussel Industry Council has a Sextant  database that allows continuous interactive planning among all stakeholders and demonstrates the crucial role of R\&D in  the realisation of strategic goals.    The industry is expected to grow at 7\% pa within the next decade.  This growth will  require new animal production activities such as hatchery spat production, selective breeding and husbandry for animal    health and condition. These activities will be based on R\&D outputs such as the ability to condition broodstock, cost- effective methods for early spat rearing, and methods for the cryopreservation of gametes and embryos.  To achieve these  outputs, the industry supports research on the biology, ecology and genetics of the mussel, hatchery and nursery technology,  shellfish selective breeding and cryopreservation, stress and disease physiology. New areas of research on shellfish production  provide opportunities for the application of generic animal production expertise.},

	abstract = {Cryopreservation of gametes and embryos plays a key role in the advanced areas of animal production. It will also play  a central role in future aquaculture. The techniques to cryopreserve gametes are well understood in domestic animals such as sheep and cattle.  In contrast, research on shellfish cryopreservation is scarce. A major limitation of previous shellfish  work is that fertilisation or short-term survival has been taken as the measure of success, which has not been validated in  terms of successful development and growth of larvae. This manuscript briefly describes the approach to the problem by this research team and highlights some of the similarities and differences between the procedures used with shellfish and  domestic animal gametes.},
