[Diploid radiation gynogenesis in carp. I. Massive production of diploid gynogenetic progeny].
Mass lost of diploid gynogenetic carp offspring were obtained with the use of fish-farm method of reproduction. The average yield of gynogenetic diploids in usual experiments was 0.1% (from fertilized eggs). The cooling of unfertilized spawn (at the stage of metaphase II) to 8--10 degrees C during 3.5--4.5 hours in 50% of cases permitted to increase by tens of times (in the most successful experiments up to 8%) the yield of gynogenetic diploids. The rate of survival of carps remained relatively low during the first two years of life, particularly during the first hibernation that is a critical period. No specific depression of growth in gynogenetic diploid carps was observed. A high yield of gynogenetic diploids (3.9% of fertilized eggs) and their relatively high rate of survival were observed in the second generation of artificially induced gynogenesis.
