Triploid male plaice, Pleuronectes platessa, and plaice x flounder, Platichthys flesus, hybrids produced from cold-shocked eggs were reared to maturity at three years of age. The testes of triploid hybrids were similar in macroscopic appearance and size to those from control fish but in histological section spermatocyte and spermatid cell formation was grossly abnormal. In two fish the majority of cells appeared to be aborted spermatids and spermatocytes although there were some spermatozoa with enlarged heads and thick bent flagellae.
The testes of mature triploid plaice were similar to controls both in shape and size and in histological section. Spermatocyte and spermatid cell formation was normal, apart from an increase in cell and nuclear size, and fully motile spermatozoa were produced from several fish. Plaice eggs fertilized with semen from triploids showed a slight reduction in fertility compared with controls but developed normally to gastrulation with little mortality. Beyond gastrulation there was increasing mortality associated with abnormalities in the appearance of embryos. Few hatched and none of these survived longer than 48 h. The value of triploidy in fish farming is briefly discussed.
