I store sealed cans in the refrigerator, per advice from the main suppliers. Freezer works, but reduces viability more.
Once opened, I may keep a small jar at room temp, but have discovered the hard way that repeated pouring and resealing from a whole 1 lb can develops low hatch rate long before the cysts are used up. The can should be sealed and returned to the fridge. Take it out a day before opening to prevent condensation from starting the hatch and killing the eggs. Pour some out and reseal before refrigerating again.
BTW, no need to remove the entire can top. A nail hole near one edge allows plenty-fast pouring of eggs and helps keep room humidity out.
