Abstract Using Ringer solution as extender, the present study examined the protective effect of dimethyl sulphoxide (Me2SO; 8-12%, v/v) on the cryopreservation of giant grouper (Epinephelus lanceolatus) sperm. The cryopreserved sperm was then successfully applied in interspecific hybridization with tiger grouper (E. fuscoguttatus). Higher motility (90.56 ± 6.58%) and fertilization rate (69.61 ± 4.83%) was achieved in 10% Me2SO with Ringer solution as extender (dilution ratio 1:1), which should no significant difference in comparison with fresh sperm (95.88 ± 1.64% and 73.10 ± 1.28%). There were no statistical differences in both fertilization and hatching rates between hybrid and non-hybrid tiger grouper by using cryopreserved sperm for fertilization, but malformation rate of the hybrid was higher than non-hybrid (17%) (P
