Notes:
Insemination of oocytes from six different salmon with irradiated heterospecific sperm combined with thermal shocks 10 min after activation successfully induced gynogenesis in pink salmon, Oncorhynchus gorbuscha (Walbaum). Biochemical genetic analysis and morphology of larvae con firmed their gynogenetic parentage, Thermal shocks of 26oC beginning 10 min after fertilization and lasting 15-30 min gave high yields of gynogenetic salmon (32% of normal diploid hatching, average of six females; 70% in oocytes from one female treated 20 min): shocks of 28oC lasting 10-16 min also gave high yields (2 5%), Shocks of 30oC lasting 6-12 min gave lesser yields (10%), Female donors varied significantly in the susceptibility of their oocytes to treatment (15-70% range of yield to average best treatment) but females did not interact significantly with heat shock treatment: different heat shocks had relatively the same effect on all females.
