title: Use of grayling sperm (Thymallus thymallus) as a marker for the production of gynogenetic rainbow trout (Salmo gairdneri).
abstract: Experiments were conducted to estimate the viability of diploid and induced triploid hybrids between the rainbow trout female and the grayling male. Both are unable to hatch, even so the triploid dies later than the diploid. Insemination of rainbow trout eggs by UV irradiated sperm of grayling results in gynogenetic rainbow trouts when viability is restored by heat shocks inhibiting the second division of egg meiosis.
