SALAMANDER SPERM SOUGHT
The staff of the Warm Springs National Fish Technology Center are in need of
Ambystomatid spermatophores or sperm. They plan to experiment with cryogenic storage
of sperm as a possible method for future restoration of rare species or species becoming
rare (e.g., A. cingulatum). Spermatophores from A. maculatum, A. opacum, or A. tigrinum
are preferred, but that from
other species is acceptable. For further information about how tissues can be sent,
