TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of fish breeding, in particular to a method for breeding all-male tetraploid crucian carp. BACKGROUND
[0002] Fish unisexual breeding refers to the cultivation of a single-sex fish population through artificial intervention or genetic regulation technology to meet the demand for specific gender fish in aquaculture. Unisexual breeding is of great significance in aquaculture. For example, all-male populations generally grow faster and are larger, which can shorten the breeding cycle and reduce production costs. All-female populations may have higher economic value in some species, such as egg production. Common methods of fish unisexual breeding include the use of exogenous hormones to induce sex reversal, gynogenesis and androgenesis, and the combination of gene editing and sex marker assisted breeding technology. The most widely used unisexual breeding technology at present is the combination of gynogenesis and sex reversal technology, which is also a way to obtain all-female fish. A variety of fish have achieved artificial sex reversal, such as Oryzias latipes, Cyprinus carpio, Carassius auratus, and Clarias batrachus, making it possible to prepare unisexual fish populations. However, the conventional unisexual breeding scheme cannot control the proportion of sex reversal when feeding experimental fish with exogenous hormones, and it also causes pollution to the water environment. Especially for gynogenetic fish with a long sexual maturation period, the breeding cycle is long and there are many uncontrollable factors. The preparation of ordinary all-male fish usually requires a series of processes such as "sex reversal-gynogenesis-super-male fish-all-male fish", which has a longer cycle and more uncontrollable factors than the preparation of all-female fish population. How to avoid the above risks and quickly breed all-male / all-female populations is a research hotspot in aquaculture at present.
[0003] For a long time, the main research object of fish unisexual breeding is diploid, and there are few researches on polyploid fish, especially tetraploid fish. The main reason is that it is too difficult to artificially breed tetraploid fish which is hereditarily stable and can produce gametes. The preparation of tetraploid fish has been a hot and difficult point in the field of aquaculture at home and abroad. At present, there are many reports on the preparation of tetraploid fish by physical and chemical methods, such as tetraploid rainbow trout, tetraploid Megalobrama, tetraploid Paralichthys olivaceus, etc. However, the tetraploid fish prepared by these methods cannot form a stable strain. In addition, biological methods such as distant hybridization are considered to be effective methods for creating tetraploid fish which can produce gametes and are hereditarily stable, such as the creation of tetraploid fish such as heterologous tetraploid crucian carp, homologous tetraploid crucian carp, etc. On the basis of the creation of these tetraploid fish, they can be genetically improved by using techniques such as gynogenesis and androgenesis. The improved tetraploid fish has obvious advantages in sperm production, egg carrying capacity and stress resistance. As high-quality germplasm resources, especially male tetraploid fish, can produce more diploid gametes, and are more valuable in production and application. At present, there are few reports on all-male tetraploid fish, and there is no successful case of successfully breeding all-male tetraploid fish in the prior art. The reason is that there are few available diploid gametes. Common diploid economic fish usually produces haploid gametes, and the embryo is diploid after fertilization. It is difficult to obtain surviving tetraploid offspring by inhibiting the first cleavage and other technical means to double the chromosome number of diploid embryos, and it cannot be guaranteed whether it is a single sex. It needs to be cultured by hormone or temperature control in the later stage, and it is possible to obtain a single sex population, but the operation period is too long and the risk is too large. The present application effectively avoids the above risks, fully utilizes the existing diploid gamete resources, and directly obtains a large number of all-male tetraploid fish population without chromosome doubling treatment, hormone feeding or temperature control treatment, which solves the technical difficulties faced by technical personnel in the field. SUMMARY
[0004] The present application provides a method for breeding all-male tetraploid crucian carp, which aims to fill the gap in the breeding scheme of male tetraploid fish.
[0005] In order to achieve the above purpose, the present application provides a method for breeding all-male tetraploid crucian carp, comprising the following steps:

[0021] Preferably, the gender detection specifically comprises at least one of the following two schemes:
[0022] Scheme 1: Directly squeezing white semen from the sexually mature individual to determine that it is male.
[0023] Scheme 2: Performing a dissection experiment on the sexually mature population, and determining that it is male if there is obvious testis tissue.
[0024] Preferably, the semen obtained by the gender detection is detected by using the flow cytometry DNA content detection method, and it is determined that the sperm of the all-male tetraploid crucian carp population is diploid by the average DNA content of the semen being between 90 and 110.

[0037] Furthermore, the technical features involved in the different embodiments of the present invention described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.
[0038] Example 1:
[0039] This embodiment provides a method for cultivating all-male tetraploid crucian carp. The flowchart for cultivating all-male tetraploid crucian carp is as follows: Figure 1The cultivation experiment of all-male tetraploid crucian carp was carried out in three batches in the fish breeding valley of Xuefeng Mountain in Shaoyang City, Hunan Province from March 2022 to July 2022. The total experiment lasted for 5 months.
[0040] Each batch of all-male tetraploid crucian carp cultivation specifically includes the following steps:
[0041] (1) Artificial induction and fertilization: In the breeding season, 10 healthy and well-developed gynogenetic homologous diploid crucian carps and 10 male androgenetic homologous diploid crucian carps were selected, and a mixture of chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) 400-600 IU / kg, luteinizing hormone releasing hormone analogue (LRH-A) 6-8 μg / kg and domperidone (DOM) 1 mg / kg was injected for artificial induction. The injection dose of male individuals was half of that of females; after the gynogenetic homologous diploid crucian carps came into heat, the fish body was wiped dry with a dry towel and the eggs were squeezed out from the fish body and placed in a pre-dried basin. The sperm of the androgenetic homologous diploid crucian carp was squeezed in, and the mixture was stirred with a dry feather to make it fertile.
[0042] (2) Incubation and feeding: The fertilized eggs were dispersed and laid flat in a culture dish containing clean water, and incubated at room temperature in still water. After hatching, more than 20,000 fry were obtained and transferred to a plastic basin for further culture for 2-4 days. The average hatching rate of the three batches was about 74.36%. After the fish fry appeared the waist point, they were transferred to a pre-fertilized pond for feeding until they reached sexual maturity at 120 days of age. The surviving offspring were 100% all-male tetraploid crucian carp population, and the average survival rate of the three batches was about 67.06%. The specific hatching conditions are shown in Table 1:
[0043] Table 1 Fish fry cultivation conditions of Example 1
[0044]
[0045] (3) Detection of offspring ploidy and sex: The ploidy and gonadal development of the offspring fed to 120 days of age were detected; flow cytometry DNA content detection method and kidney tissue lymphocyte chromosome ploidy detection method were used, and the results are shown in Figure 2 The average DNA content of the surviving offspring somatic cells was 204.02, and the somatic cell chromosome number was 200, i.e. the surviving offspring were tetraploid. Figure Two Peak 2 in the figure is the most concentrated and largest number of sample detection of average DNA content, which can be judged as the average DNA content of the sample; although peak 1 reads the corresponding data, it may be a fragmented DNA sample, etc., and cannot be used as a representative of the average DNA content of the sample; the corresponding data read by peak 3 is the DNA content of the somatic cells in the process of mitosis, which is in a doubled state.
[0046] The mature individuals are directly squeezed out of the white semen to determine the male, or the dissection experiment is performed on the sexually mature population, and the presence of obvious testis tissue determines the male. All surviving individuals are detected, and all are males. The testis shape and testis histology of the all-male tetraploid crucian carp are shown in Figure 3 .
[0047] The semen obtained by the gender detection is detected by flow cytometry DNA content detection method, and the sperm of the all-male tetraploid crucian carp population is determined to be diploid by the average DNA content of the semen. The average DNA content of the semen of the all-male tetraploid crucian carp is shown in Figure 4 . The specific value is 101.60 shown by peak 1, and the average DNA content of the semen is about half of the average DNA content of the somatic cells Figure 2 . Therefore, it can be determined that the sperm produced by the all-male tetraploid crucian carp population is diploid.
[0048] Figure 4 Peak 1 is the interval with the most concentrated and largest number of average DNA contents in the semen for loading detection, which can represent the average DNA content of the semen of the all-male tetraploid crucian carp. Peak 2 shows 199.57, which may be the DNA content of sperm cells in different development periods, or a small part of somatic cells may be taken out (contaminated) during the process of taking the semen sample.
[0049] Through the above detection, it can be determined that the offspring of the gynogenetic homologous diploid crucian carp and the androgenetic homologous diploid crucian carp is 100% male tetraploid, which can reach sexual maturity at 120 days of age and can stably produce diploid sperm.
[0050] Example 2
[0051] The present embodiment provides a method for cultivating all-male tetraploid crucian carp. The cultivation flow chart of all-male tetraploid crucian carp is shown in Figure 1 . Three batches of all-male tetraploid crucian carp cultivation experiments were carried out in Xuefengshan Fish Seed Breeding Valley in Shaoyang City, Hunan Province from March 2023 to July 2023, and the total experiment lasted for 5 months.
[0052] Each batch of all-male tetraploid crucian carp cultivation specifically includes the following steps:
[0053] (1) Artificial induction of spawning and fertilization: In the breeding season, 10 healthy and well-developed gynogenetic homologous diploid crucian carp and 10 androgenetic homologous diploid crucian carp were selected, and a mixed induction agent of chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) 400-600 IU / kg, luteinizing hormone releasing hormone analogue (LRH-A) 6-8 μg / kg and domperidone (DOM) 1 mg / kg was injected for artificial induction of spawning. The injection dose of the male individual was half of that of the female. After the gynogenetic homologous diploid crucian carp was in estrus, the fish body was wiped dry with a dry towel, and the eggs were squeezed out of the fish body and placed in a pre-dried basin. The sperm of the androgenetic homologous diploid crucian carp was squeezed into the basin, and the mixture was stirred with a dry feather to make it fertile.
[0054] (2) Incubation and feeding: The fertilized eggs were dispersed and laid flat in a culture dish containing clean water, and incubated at room temperature in still water. After hatching, more than 10,000 fry were obtained and transferred to a plastic basin for further culture for 2-4 days. The average hatching rate of the three batches was about 73.42%. After the fry appeared the waist point, they were transferred to a pre-fertilized pond for feeding until they reached sexual maturity at 120 days of age. The survival offspring was a 100% all-male tetraploid crucian carp population, and the average survival rate of the three batches was about 68.04%. The specific incubation conditions are shown in Table 2:
[0055] Table 2 Fish fry cultivation conditions of Example 2
[0056]
[0057] (3) Detection of offspring ploidy and sex: The ploidy and gonadal development of the offspring fed to 120 days of age were detected. The flow cytometry DNA content detection method and the kidney tissue lymphocyte chromosome ploidy detection method were used to detect the average DNA content of the somatic cells of the surviving offspring, which was between 190 and 215, and the number of somatic cell chromosomes was 200, i.e. the surviving offspring was tetraploid.
[0058] The sexually mature individuals were directly squeezed out of the white semen to determine the males, or the sexually mature population was dissected, and those with obvious testicular tissue were determined to be males. All surviving individuals were detected and found to be all males.
[0059] The semen obtained from the sex detection was detected by flow cytometry DNA content detection method, and the sperm of the all-male tetraploid crucian carp population was determined to be diploid by the average DNA content of the semen. The average DNA content of the semen of the all-male tetraploid crucian carp was between 90 and 110, which was about half of the average DNA content of the somatic cells. Therefore, it can be determined that the sperm produced by the all-male tetraploid crucian carp population is diploid. Through the above detection, it can be determined that the offspring of the gynogenetic homologous diploid crucian carp and the androgenetic homologous diploid crucian carp is 100% male tetraploid, which can reach sexual maturity at 120 days of age and can stably produce diploid sperm.
[0060] Example 3:
[0061] The present embodiment provides a method for cultivating all-male tetraploid crucian carp. The flow chart of cultivating all-male tetraploid crucian carp is shown in FIG. 1. Three batches of all-male tetraploid crucian carp were cultivated in the Xuefeng Mountain Fish Seed Breeding Valley in Shaoyang City, Hunan Province from April 2024 to August 2024, and the total experimental duration was 5 months. Figure 1
[0062] The cultivation of each batch of all-male tetraploid crucian carp specifically includes the following steps:
[0063] (1) Artificial induction of parturition and fertilization: In the breeding season, 10 female gynogenetic homologous diploid crucian carps and 10 male androgenetic homologous diploid crucian carps with healthy signs and well-developed gonads were selected, and a mixed parturition agent of chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) 400-600 IU / kg, luteinizing hormone analogue (LRH-A) 6-8 μg / kg, and domperidone maleate (DOM) 1 mg / kg was injected for artificial induction of parturition. The injection dose for male individuals was half of that for female individuals. After the female gynogenetic homologous diploid crucian carps were in estrus, the fish bodies were wiped dry with a dry towel, and the eggs were squeezed out of the fish bodies and placed in a pre-dried basin. The sperm of the male androgenetic homologous diploid crucian carp was squeezed in, and a dry feather was used to stir and mix them to allow fertilization.
[0064] (2) Incubation and feeding: The fertilized eggs were dispersed and laid flat in a culture dish containing clean water, and incubated at room temperature in still water. After hatching, more than 10,000 fry were obtained and transferred to a plastic basin for further cultivation for 2-4 days. The average hatching rate of the three batches was about 74.10%. After the fry appeared the waist point, they were transferred to a pre-fertilized pond for feeding until they reached sexual maturity at 120 days of age. The surviving offspring were all-male tetraploid crucian carp populations, and the average survival rate of the three batches was about 68.47%. The specific incubation conditions are shown in Table 3.
[0065] Table 3 Fish fry cultivation conditions in Example 3
[0066]
[0067] (3) Detection of offspring ploidy and sex: The ploidy and gonadal development of the offspring fed to 120 days of age were detected. The flow cytometry DNA content detection method and the kidney tissue lymphocyte chromosome ploidy detection method were used to detect the average DNA content of the somatic cells of the surviving offspring, which was between 190 and 215, and the number of somatic cell chromosomes was 200, indicating that the surviving offspring were tetraploid.
[0068] The sexually mature individuals were directly squeezed out of white sperm to determine their sex, or the sexually mature population was dissected, and those with obvious testicular tissue were determined to be male. All surviving individuals were detected, and all were found to be male.
[0069] The sperm obtained by the gender detection is detected by flow cytometry DNA content detection method, and the sperm of the all-male tetraploid crucian carp population is determined to be diploid by the average DNA content of the sperm. The average DNA content of the sperm of the all-male tetraploid crucian carp is between 90 and 110, and the average DNA content of the sperm is about half of the average DNA content of the somatic cells. Therefore, it can be determined that the sperm produced by the all-male tetraploid crucian carp population is diploid. Through the above detection, it can be determined that the hybrid offspring of the gynogenetic homologous diploid crucian carp and the androgenetic homologous diploid crucian carp is 100% male tetraploid, which can reach sexual maturity at 120 days old and can stably produce diploid sperm.
[0070] Overall, the all-male tetraploid crucian carp prepared by the method is a major breakthrough in the process of fish unisexual breeding research. Compared with the method of preparing unisexual population by sex reversal technology, the unisexual breed can be obtained faster, and the impact of hormone feeding on the environment in the process of sex reversal is also avoided. By using the characteristics that both the gynogenetic homologous diploid crucian carp and the androgenetic homologous diploid crucian carp produce apomeiotic gametes, the two are crossed to prepare a tetraploid crucian carp population on a large scale, which innovates the method of large-scale preparation of tetraploid fish. Moreover, compared with ordinary male homologous tetraploid crucian carp, the all-male tetraploid crucian carp population has a significantly shortened sexual maturation time and improved reproductive performance. The all-male tetraploid crucian carp is an important germplasm resource for producing triploid, which can provide sufficient diploid gamete resources for large-scale preparation of high-quality triploid fish. These have important theoretical and production significance in the research of fish gender determination genetic mechanism, sex control breeding, and large-scale breeding of polyploid fish.
[0071] The above is the preferred embodiment of the present application. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, without departing from the principles of the present application, several improvements and refinements can be made, which should also be considered as the protection scope of the present application.
