The Aquatic Germplasm and Genetic Resources Center (AGGRC, www.aggrc.com) at Louisiana State University Agricultural Center has a mission to provide global leadership for development of germplasm repositories and commercialization of genetic resources for aquatic species through interdisciplinary collaboration. Currently most work directly addresses the pervasive lack of standardization and reproducibility that characterizes cryopreservation within aquatic species.
