Improving Androgenesis by optimizing conditions of ultraviolet treatment in Nile tilapia, Oreochromis niloticus (L.) Zaki Sharawy1 & 2 1 National institute of Oceanography and Fisheries, P. O. Box 182, Suez, Egypt 2 Institute for Hydrobiology and Fisheries Science, Hamburg University, Olbersweg 24, D-22767 Hamburg, Germany E-mail: [email protected] Received 8th March 2010, Accepted 20th October 2010 Abstract The objectives of the present study were to produce homozygous male in Nile tilapia (Oreochromis. niloticus), where the male is heterogametic, by using UV-irradiation and heat shock treatments. Nile tilapia, O. niloticus brood stock was collected from the Lake Manzala population, Egypt and send to the Institute for Animal Breeding and Genetics, Goettingen, Germany, where this experiment was carried out. Fertilization of ultraviolet (UV) irradiated eggs was carried out by using a dosage of 254 nm at a fixed intensity of 58 mJ/cm2 for different distances between UV-lamp and eggs via a heat-shock (41°C for 5 min started at 4.5 min post-fertilization) of Nile tilapia, O. niloticus with sperm from homozygous O. niloticus males induced by mitotic gynogenesis from the second and the third generations of low and high temperature sensitive selection induced. Treatment of eggs at 5 cm distance before fertilization proved to be sufficient to inactivate egg DNA. The present results showed that for the values of a sex ratio of gynogenetic males was mated with normal females (one male x one female) for control group with a lowest percentage of males (14%) and the highest percentage was 44%. For the experimental treatment groups, the results obtained that, at hatching stage (4 days post-fertilization), survival ranged from 0.57% to 3.50%. Although high survival rates were obtained at the hatching stage, they sharply decreased by the yolk-sac absorption stage and dropped by the swim-up stage (30-150 day post-fertilization). Sex ratio of all the progeny (treated groups) significantly differed from 1:1 while their respective controls did not significantly differ from the expected 1:1 ratio (P>0.05), with exception of one male which produced 14% male progeny. After testing the homozygous of fishes, they will be used to produce subsequent generation of androgenetic strains. This study may indicate successfully inactivated the maternal genome (nuclear DNA) in Nile tilapia eggs at 5 cm distance using UV-irradiation.
