Abstract
Triploidy, a stage of having 3 sets of chromosomes, occurs naturally in fish. Induction of triploidy is possible by subjecting newly fertilized eggs to sub-lethal conditions prior to the extrusion of polar bodies. The purposes of the induction include improving growth and/or obtaining sterile animals for various purposes. This article gives a brief background of triploid induction in aquatic animals, performances of triploid and collective information on triploidy induction in aquatic species native to South East Asia, and future direction.
