Use of sexually sterile fish would be advantageous for several applications, such as: 1) controlling reproduction of exotic species; 2) preventing potential backcross of hybrids with either parent species resulting in intermingling of genetic material; and 3) improving growth of aquiculture species because less energy is diverted for reproduction. A need for sexually sterile fish has prompted research in the production of triploid fish.
