Abstract

Fisheries Sciences Sparus aurata hybridization Pagrus major
The parameters for the production of triploid and gynogenetic progenies of the gilthead seabream, Sparus aurata, have been established. To induce diploidization of the maternal genome the optimal heat shock temperature used was 36.5-97.gC. Time after fertilization for shock treatment and duration of shock were 3 and 2.5 min, respectively. Triploidization efficiency in embryos was positively associated with shock temperature, reaching a maximum of 1OO/" at 37'C- Gynogenetic diploid progenies ol S. auratawere produced using the same conditiongestablished for triploidization, except that fertilization was carried out with UV-inactivated heterologous sperm of red seabream, Pagrus maior. The efficiency of the sperm inactivation was estimated to be 100%' Diploid and triploid hybrids between S. auratafemales and P. majormales were produced. The chromosome "markers" useful in interspecific hybridization experiments are discussed.
