Triploidy induction by heat-shock treatment in red tilapia

Abstract: The possible use of sterile triploid red tilapia is an interesting option for culture due to their proliferating breeding activities. The aim of the present study was to investigate and optimize the time of heat-shock treatment to prevent second polar body extrusion from the newly fertilized eggs of red tilapia, to produce a maximum number of triploid individuals. Heat-shock treatment was applied at a temperature of 41°C for a total duration of 3.5 minutes after 2, 3, 4, 4.5, 5 and 6 minutes of fertilization. … Show more

“…The eggs used in the present study were relatively uniform with an average fertilization rate of 98%, but the hatching rate of triploid eggs (group) was lower (27%) compared to that of the diploid eggs (80%). Similar results were reported in other fish species, such as goldfish and red tilapia, which resulted in 13% and 36-69% hatching rates, respectively, post temperature shock (42 °C) for two min (Carman et al, 1991;Pradeep et al, 2012). The low hatching rate observed in the triploid is a consequence of the heat shock, which disturbed the embryogenesis process.…”

“…Varimax factor scatter plot of transformed morphometric data taken from triploid samples (n=100) and diploid fish samples (n=100) (Pradeep et al, 2011). Despite statistically significant differences observed in many morphological parameters measured, there was, however, no specific range or value that could be used to differentiate between triploid and diploid African catfish due to wide overlap.…”

“…We expected that the results would be the same for all species in the genus. Besides providing basic knowledge, cytogenetic studies have been successfully used for detection of ploidy in tilapias (genus Oreochromis), which were temperature shocked (Pradeep, Srijaya, Bahuleyan, et al 2012;). This technique is very important in hybridization programming of fishes or any other animals, as it can detect and correctly identify the induced diploid or triploid offspring, which may be further selected as maternal and/or paternal material for further breeding.…”

“…It follows that there are some variations of Epinephelus species, including E. malabalicus (Zou et al 2005), E. fuscoguttatus (Liao et al 2006;Wei et al 2009), E. moara (E. bruneus) (Guo et al 2006), and E. coioides (Wang et al 2010), showing a chromosome number of 48 with varied karyotypes. Cytogenetic studies provide important basic knowledge which can have applications for many other studies, such as for the detection of ploidy in fishes (Pradeep et al 2011;Pradeep, Srijaya, Bahuleyan, et al 2012).…”
