INTRODUCTION Two physical methods, viz. temperature shocks and hydrostatic pressure shocks, have becn successfully applied by various authors for the retention of the 2nd polar body during meiosis and for the suppression of Aquat. Living Resour. 91/03 139 07 $ 2.7010 IFREMER-Gauthier-Villars chromosome disjunction before the 1st and/or 2nd mi tosis. Thorgaard (1983, 1986), Chourrout (1987), and Benfey (1987)7 Benfey (1989) and others reviewed the respective experiments and discussed the possibilities of application of these manipulations in fish culture. It was previously believed, that 140 hcat shocks are inore eflicient for induction of polyploidy in cold-watcr fi\hcs than cold shocks and vice versa. IIowever. the expcrimcnts of Strciringcr et rrl. (1981), Chourrout and Itskovich (1983). Hidwcll r t ul. (1985) and Hollcbccq ct (11. (1988) have shown, that heat shocks can bc efficient in wnrni-water fishes also. The optimi~ation of ploidy inanipulation parametcrs (i. p. tcmpcraturc o r hydrostatic prcssurc uscd, duration of the shock and the timing of the initiation o f the shock aftcr gamete activation) in both types of physical shock is the kcy point of the whole procedure because the egg sensitivity changes rapidly during carly embryonic dcvelopment (Cherfas et al., 1990). In various experiincnts with ploidy manipulations the fcrtili/cd cggs wcrc kept at various ternperatures prior to shock which itsclf has bccn applied in different time intervals after fertiliration. In ordcr to 0ptimii.c the shock initiation, Gomelsky et cd. (198'9) and Cherfas rt 01. (1990) have tested a dimensionless unit of embryonic age r, [the duration of one initotic cycle during synchronous cell division (Ilctlaff and 1)ctlaft; 1961; lgnatyeva, 1974)l related to the watcr tcmpcraturc only. Artificial triploidy in common carp or koi carp has bccn succcssfully induced in experiments of Ojima and Makino (1978). Gervai et ul. (1980), Ueno (1984), Tanig~ichirt rd. (1986), Wu et al. (1986), Hollebecq ct (11. (19881, Linhart cf cd. (1989) and Cherfas ct al. (1990). Most of these authors used cold shocks, exccpt Hollcbccq rt (11. (1988) and Rekoubratsky ct LI]. (1980), who uscd the heat shock. Artificial tetraploidy was successfully induccd by Rekoubratsky ct (11. (1989) by heat shock only. To the bcst of our knowlcdge, the application of hydrostatic prcssurc shock has not bcen used for ploidy manipulation of common carp or othcr closcly related species except by Cassani and Caton (1986) for grass carp. We report in this papcr the rcsults of Our experiinents with artificial induction of triploidy and tctraploidy in common carp by both cold shocks and hydrostatic pressure shocks. MATERIAL ANI) ME'I'HODS Al1 experiments wcrc carried out at the Experimenta1 Station of Research Institute of I:ish Culture and Hydrobiology, (RIFCH) a t Vodiiany in 1987 and 1989. Hrood carps, originating from strains kept in RIFCH at Vodiiany, were hcld in warmed water prior to artificial stripping. 7'hc duration of this period varied according to the dcgrcc of ripcncss of the oocytes in females used in single experiments. Fish wcre stripped by the conventional dry method. Gametes werc chcckcd macro- and microscopically in order to cxcludc spcrm with poor motility, sperm contaminated with urine or faeccs or ovcrripcd oocytes. Heterosperin, after mixing from individual males, was maintained in glass tubes in refrigerator a t 4-5°C prior to the cxperiments. Oocytes mixed from individual 0. Linhart et al. fcmalcs wcre maintained in plastic bowls covercd with a wet cloth in ordcr to prcvcnt drying. Gametes were also collected for estimation of the aniount of spermatozoa in I ml of sperm and the number of oocytes in 1 g. Generally, the schedule or al1 cxpcrimcnts was as follows: oocyte batches (5-10 g) were weighed in glass di\hcs, spcrm was addcd, mixed and activatcd with 20 ml of dcgumming solution consisting of milk: water ( 1 :40). After 2 minutes a morc concentrated (1 : 30) milk solution was addcd. The batchcs of cggs wcre incubated in Kannengieter incubation jars (2 1 volume) in non-recycled warmed water at an average temperature of 20°C. Each jar was placed i i i one aquarium, irito which the Iarvac were transfercd aftcr hatching. Just before starting exogenous feeding, the total nuinber of larvae was checked and a representative sample was takcn to dctcrminc ploidy level by quantification of Ag-stained nucleoli in interphase cclls andior Ag-stained nucleolar organizer regions (NOKs) in the inetaphasc chromosomes. For this detcrmination, the inethod of Phillips et al. (1986) has been utili/cd but modificd according to Fl2ijShans et (11. (in press u ) . Briclly, the wholc larvac wcre smeared on ethanol-cleaned microscopic slides in one drop of 60% acetic acid, fixed with methanol, dried and Ag-staincd according to Howell and Black (1980), modified by Gold (1984) and Rab and Roth (1988). Chromosome preparations were made as dcscribcd by Baksi and Means (1988). The experimental batches were treated with crushcd ice dispersed in rnilk solution (1 :20) with the tcmpcraturc 0-2°C. The shocks were initiated from O to 65 minutes, rcspcctively, after gamete activation (see tuh1e.r 1 and 2). the cxposurc lastcd for 40 minutes, (Linhart r t ul., 1987). The average temperature prior to the exposure was 24°C. ' A hydrostatic pressure device dcvclopped for RIFCH at Vodfiany by Moravian Chcmical Entcrprise at Ostrava (courtesy Dr. Theobald Olschak; device undcr patent control) has been used. In this device pressurized nitrogen is uscd to provide the hydrostatic pressure, so that the required pressure lcvcl can be reached in less than two seconds. The tempcraturc of watcr and the milk solution in the pressure chamber rangcd from 19 to 21°C. Egg batches were treated in the pressure chamber in bags made from plastic mesh. The eggs were incubatcd aftcr shocking a t an average temperature of 20°C. Threc expcrimcntal scrics wcre realized, in each series one shock parameter (starting time of shock after activation, pressure level, exposure time, rcspectively) was tested, while the remaining two wcrc kcpt constant in order to optimize the parameters a t the tempcraturc used.

Induccd triploidy in the cornrnon carp 143 pressure levels did not rcsult in significant numbers of hatched viable fry or in triploids at all, cxcept for 60.07% triploids from the shock at 20.59 MPa for 20 minutes exposure and for 14.97% viable fry after 20 minutcs exposure to a shock of 30.40 MPa. Howevcr, thcse data were not repcatable. Hydrostatic pressure shocks of 49.03 MPa, starting at 40, 45 and 50 minutes after gainetc activation, i. e. at 1.43; 1.61 and 1.79 T, and lasling 1 minute were not succcssful for the induction o î tetraploidy in any of Our cxperiments. DISCUSSION Exposure time [min] Figure 4. - Hydrostatic pressure shocks related to cxposurc time: percentage of viable fry. Exposure time [min] Figure 5. - Hydrostatic pressure shocks: pcrcentage of viablc triploid fry (3 n). times (1-3-5 minutes) for the highest hydrostatic pressure levels (49.03-56.88 MPa, i. e. 7 1 16-8255 psipounds per square inch) after 5 minutes incubation, i. e. in 0.17 r, unit at an incubation water temperature of 20°C. Shocks starting after 2, 10, 15, 20, 25 and 30 minutes incubation did not result in any viable fry at all. Shocks with long exposure times at lower Vol. 4, no 3 - 1991 The fertilization rates in each expcriment were theoretically at the same level as in control groups and they wcrc reduced to the observed level by the shock trcatments (tubles 1 and 2). We tricd to transform the results of the experiments to a mode, which would reflect the correlation betwecn the fertilization rate and thc influence of the shock treatment itself i. e. the survival, expressed in the percentage of hatched viable fry and the "yield", expressed as thc percentage of hatched viable polyploid fry. Thereforc, the pcrcentage of hatched viable polyploid fry was calculated from the number of living eggs at the morula stage and not directly from the number of hatched viablc fry; the latter mode of calculation was taken only as a subsidiary item (tuhlc..~1 and 2). Cold shocks If the rcsults of previously published cold shock experimcnts are transformed to T, parameter, the data for the retention of the second polar body range from 0.03 (Cherfas et al., 1990) to 0.45 (Taniguchi et ul., 1986), with the pcak in 0.03-0.32 interval (Gervai et al., 1980; Ueno, 1984; Taniguchi et ul., 1986; Lin.hart et al., 1989; Cherfas et al., 1990). The data of our experimcnts (0.1 and 0.26 r, for shocks at 2 and 5 minutes, respectively) thus correspond with them. The best data for suppression of the first mitosis were reported by Rekoubratsky et al. (1989) at 1.7 T,. In our experiments hatched viable tetraploid fry were produced at a very low percentage (up to 1.54%) and without successfull replication, if expressed in r, unit, it ranged from 2.89 to 3.42. We suppose, that this could be a result of suppression of the second mitosis, while shocks applied before the first mitosis did not induce tetraploidy at all. Hydrostutic pressure shocks As no data on the application of hydrostatic pressure shocks for induction of polyploidy in carp are available, we have arranged Our cxperiments according to Cassani and Caton (1986). It is evident from figures 4 and 5, that triploidy inducing shocks with the shortest exposure times for the highest pressure levels applied shortly after the gamete activation are 144 m o r e efficient than longer shocks with lower pressure. T h e observation o f 60.07'% hatched viable triploids after 20 minutes shock o f 20.59 M P a m a y b e a result of a mistakc in a process o f fish handling (e.g. replacement o f aquaria, etc.). Hydrostatic pressure shocks were not successful for the induction o f tetraploidy in c a r p in a n y o f o u r cxpcrimcnts. I n contrast, very similar cxpcriments o n tench (Ï'it~(.utirzcu L., Cyprinidae) resultcd in signilic a n t numbers of tctraploids ( u p t o 50%) b y t h e suprcssion of t h e first mitosis (I:laj<hans cJt al., in press h). Hydrostatic pressure shocks d o not sccm t o be t h e most efficient way for induction o f triploidy in carp, n o t only d u e t o lowcr yiclds rcachcd. but also d u e t o difficulties with handling during t h e treatment process. In prcvious experiments, where the pressure O. Linhart et ul. chamber was fillcd with water. al1 eggs of cach treatcd batch wcrc stuck together a n d it was n o t easy t o relcase thcm, thcrcfore we filled t h e charnber with degumming milk: water (1 :20) solution t o reducc t h e stickncss o f t h e eggs, which is the strongest in t h e first minutes after gametc activation, when contcmporarily t h c triploidy-inducing trcatments start. This arrangement proved t o b e partially succe~çful.
