Field work in Slovenia

With the company of two Portuguese collegues; Elsa Cabrita and Paulo Gavaia we were in Slovenia for sperm cryopreservation works from 06-04-2015 to 10-04-2015.

The sperm samples from grayling (Thymallus thymallus) individuals were taken in the area of the Angling Association of Tolmin, with the help of Dusan Jesensek and his team.
