Application of staining techniques to improve the viability assessment of turbot (Psetta maxima) ova

Staining-dye procedures were tested on the turbot ovule in order to develop a rapid technique for determining ovule viability. Neutral red and Trypan blue dyes provided better assessment of the proportion of viable or dead female gametes when inducing fertilisation.
