Abstract:The induction of tetraploidy was attempted in three intraspecies crosses (autotetraploid) of sal-monid: chinook salmon ( Oncorhynchus tshawytscha ), coho salmon ( O. kisutch ) and rainbow trout ( Salmo gairdneri ), and in the interspecies hybrid (allotetraploid) coho × Atlantic salmon ( Salmo salar ).
Pressure treatments of 6.2 × 104 kPa (9,000 psi) were applied for six minutes at intervals from 50% of the time to cleavage to beyond first cleavage. Analysis of eyed stage embryos via flow cytometry indicated two periods of tetraploid induction existed corresponding to 55–75% and 100–110% of the first cleavage interval (FCI).
The effects of different pressures and the times of application were analyzed in a study with rainbow trout. Treatments of 4.8 × 104 kPa (7,000 psi) for eight minutes, and 5.5 and 6.2 × 104 kPa (8,000 and 9,000 psi) for four minutes, were applied at 65, 78, and 100% FCI. Tetraploids were found in the 5.5 and 6.2 × 104 kPa group treatments only when applied at 65% FCI.
The results indicate that, while tetraploidy is inducible in salmonids, further experimentation is necessary to discern the appropriate time and treatment for optimal tetraploid induction in each species.
