“…Initially, researchers focused on recovering stocks of breeding fish, although another aim of androgenesis may be the reconstruction of wild fish, which is possible when gene banks store the sperm of the extinct populations (Arai et al, 1992;Bongers et al, 1994;Flajshans, 1998;Kucharczyk, 2002). It is also possible to produce androgenetic offspring using eggs from other fish species (Grunina et al, 1995;Bercsenyi et al, 1998;Kucharczyk et al, 2008bKucharczyk et al, , 2008c. The common tench Tinca tinca (L.) is a species which has a huge commercial value in many European countries, such as the Czech Republic, Hungary, Italy, Spain and Poland and other continents (Wang et al, 2006;Celada et al, 2009;Kujawa et al, 2011).…”
