Sterilization of marine organisms by manipulation of DNA content

摘要

A novel method of generating a sterile marine organism is disclosed. The method of generating sterile wild type and transgenic marine organisms having triploid genomes is also disclosed. Specifically, we disclose methods of inducing sterility in a number of fish and other species such that their progeny cannot produce offspring by breeding organisms with tetraploid genomes to organisms with diploid genomes to produce triploid offspring.
