Abstract excerpt
Chemical treatments with cytochalasin B were used to induce triploidy in the progeny of a mass fertilization of 3 male and 7 female Crassostrea gigas parents. Triploids were produced either by retention of the first (meiosis I (MI) triploids) or the second (meiosis II (MII) triploids) polar bodies. These animals, together with their diploid siblings, were divided for two experiments. One set was used to compare...
