Comparative performance of selected triploid oysters Crassostrea (Magallana) gigas, produced by chemical induction and mated triploid techniques, to their diploid counterparts
2024-02-01
Abstract excerpt
The partial sterility of triploid (3n) oysters enables year-round harvest, improved meat quality, and superior growth compared to diploids. Two main techniques are used to produce shellfish triploids: 1) the ‘chemical induction’ method, where the release of polar body 2 in embryos is blocked via chemical treatment and 2) the ‘mated triploid’ method, widely used, where tetraploid (4n) males are crossed with diploid...
