ABSTRACT:
A rocker for extended, refrigerated storage or transport of fish sperm comprising a platform for sperm containers, drive mechanism, a power supply with an on/off switch or rheostat, and water resistant housing. This device imparts continuous rocking motion to the sperm containers so that the sperm is continuously oxygenated, thus increasing the viability of the sperm.
