Table 1.

Sperm motility (mean ± SD) of medaka Oryzias latipes (n = 10) before freezing and after thawing with two freezing treatments: methanol (10%) with a cooling rate of 10 °C/min (Method 1), and 2-methoxyethanol (10%) with a cooling rate of 15 °C/min (Method 2), and the associated male body characteristics. The P values are for comparisons made within columns (there were no significant differences).
