PANIAGUA-CHAVEZ, Carmen Guadalupe; ORTIZ-GALLARZA, Silvia Margarita y AGUILAR-JUAREZ, Marisela. National Subsystem for Aquatic Genetic Resources: The use of cryopreservation for conservation of aquatic genetic resources in Mexico. Hidrobiológica [online]. 2011, vol.21, n.3, pp.415-429. ISSN 0188-8897.
Due to the relevance of mantaining genetic aquatic resources as well as other genetic resources within the alimentary sovereignty of the country, the Secretary of Agriculture, Livestock, Rural Development, Fishery and Food (SAGARPA) and through the General Direction of Technological Transfer and Development and the National Institute of Fishery (INAPESCA), had established the National Subsystem for Aquatic Genetic Resources (SUBNARGENA) which works as an inter-institutional and interdisciplinary network for the conservation and sustainable use of the aquatic biodiversity of Mexico. The objectives of the SUBNARGENA are to localize, collect, conserve (as in situ, ex situ in vivo and ex situ in vitro) and genetically characterize the germplasm of aquatic organism of biological or commercial interest and de-clared as a priority for the nation. Thus, the goal of this paper is to present the work performed by SUBNARGENA and the advances made in the criopreservation of select aquatic genetic resources of Mexico.
