摘要
Triploid carp(100%)with 150(3n=150)chromosomes were obtained by crossing the females of improved tetraploid hybrids(♀, 4n=200)of red crucian carp(♀)×common carp(♂)with the males of diploid yellow river carp(♂,2n=100).The crosses yielded transgenic triploid carp(positive triploid fish,44.2%of the progeny)and non-transgenic triploid carp(negative triploid fish). Histological examination of the gonads of 24-month-old positive triploid fish suggested they were sterile and the fish were not able to produce mature gametes during the breeding season.Morphologically,both the positive and negative triploid fish were similar.They had a spindle-shaped,laterally compressed,steel grey body with two pairs of barbells.Most of the quantifiable traits of the triploid carp were intermediate between those of the two parents.The positive and negative triploid fish were raised in the same pond for 2 years.The mean body weight of the positive triploid fish was 2.3 times higher than the negative triploid fish.The weight of the largest positive triploid fish was 2.91 times higher than that of the largest negative triploid fish.Thus,we produced fast-growing transgenic triploid carp that have a reduced ecological risk because of their inability to mate and produce progeny.
