Abstract
Polyploid mosaicism was induced in landlocked Atlantic salmon by treatment of fertilized eggs with 10 mg/liter solution of cytochalasin B. On the basis of nuclear size in 3,025 erythrocytes and chromosome counts we judged the treated fish to be polyploid mosaics of diploid, triploid, and tetraploid cells. The dominant polyploid cell type in test fish was triploid rather than tetraploid, in contrast to previous reports of Atlantic salmon exposed to cytochalasin B. Control groups had mainly diploid cells but a few triploid cells were measured in most individuals.Keywords
