Abstract
Triploid rainbow trout Salmo gairdneri produce spermatozoa with DNA contents intermediate between haploid and diploid values. This confirms that these spermatozoa are aneuploid and explains why progeny produced from the fertilization of haploid eggs with such sperm are not viable. Triploid males have significantly lower spermatocrit and smaller testes than diploids, but still develop normal secondary sexual characteristics and exhibit postspawning mortality.
