Cell size in triploid salmon

Abstract
There is a uniform increase in nuclear and cell size of erythrocytes, leukocytes, brain cells, and retinal cells in triploid coho and Atlantic salmon. In spite of the potentially drastic effects of this on their physiology and behavior, triploid fish appear to function as successfully as normal fish under aquaculture conditions. Triploid fish are easily produced, reared, and identified and should make useful tools for basic and applied research.
