| Abstract: | To determine the cytotype with better traits for the aquaculture practices of the dojo loach Misgurnus anguillicaudatus from the viewpoint of fish farming improvement, factorial crosses (2n♀ × 2n♂, 2n♀ × 4n♂, 4n♀ × 2n♂, 4n♀ × 4n♂) were conducted
between natural diploids (D) and tetraploids (T), producing DD, DT, TD, and TT groups (female listed first). The potential
benefits of the different cytotypes in culture were evaluated by comparing growth performance and survival rate for a 15-month
rearing trial under the same production conditions. The average fertilization rate in DT and TT was significantly lower than
in the DD and TD groups, possibly indicating the poor fertilizing capacity of the tetraploid sires. Survival rate in DT and
TD was slightly lower than in DD but significantly higher than in the TT groups. Tetraploid females produced obviously larger
eggs than diploids and, subsequently, significantly longer initial body length of TT and TD than DD and DT fry. However, from
the second month of the growth trial, TT suffered higher mortality than other cytotypes, which significantly influenced morphometric
growth parameters. The TD group exhibited superior growth performance throughout the experiment. The mean body length of DT
was comparable with that of DD fish during the first 7 months but began to outgrow DD from the 9th month. This study suggests
that the relatively better growth of tetraploid and higher survival rate of diploid can be integrated via inter-ploidy hybridization
to get TD triploids with better culture traits. |
