The results of a series of experiments conducted in our laboratory on the ornamental common carp (koi), aimed at optimizing heat-shock chromosome-set manipulation procedures, are described. The timing of heat-shock initiation was expressed in the relative unit of embryological age (τ0) in order to standardize this parameter, the absolute time for heat-shock initiation being calculated from duration of one τ0 at two different pre-treatment water temperatures. Heat shocks were applied within the periods of 0.05-0.60 τ0 and 1.20-2.20 τ0 which, respectively, cover the successive phases of the 2nd meiotic division and the 1st cleavage. The highest production of diploid gynogenetic offspring was observed when heat shocks were initiated at 0.15-0.25 τ0 and at 1.5 τ0, after insemination, corresponding to anaphase of meiosis-II, and metaphase of the 1st cleavage, respectively. Similar results were obtained irrespective of the different pre-treatment water temperatures, thus confirming the possibility of standardizing heat-shock timing by τ0. © 1994 Springer-Verlag.
