[Dispermic androgenesis in sturgeons with the help of cryopreserved sperm: production of androgenetic hybrids between Siberian and Russian sturgeons].

Dispermic androgenesis was used to produce, for the first time, an androgenetic progeny of the Siberian sturgeon (Acipenser baerii) and the androgenetic nuclear cytoplasmic hybrids (Siberian sturgeon, A. baerii x Russian sturgeon, A. gueldenstaedtii) using cryopreserved sperm.

[Induced androgenesis in fish: obtaining viable nucleocytoplasmic hybrids].

A self-review of long-standing studies of induced androgenesis in fish. The data are provided on the induction of diploid androgenesis in teleost fish via blocking the first cleavage division and the development of the method of dispermic androgenesis in sturgeon fish. Androgenetic nucleocytoplasmic hybrids were obtained using the method of dispermic androgenesis and eggs of previously produced true interspecific hybrids.

[Meiotic gynogenesis in the stellate, Russian sturgeon and sterlet].

Diploid gynogenetic progenies were obtained in the stellate sturgeon Acipenser stellatus, Russian sturgeon A. gueldenstaedtii, and sterlet A. ruthenus by means of insemination of the eggs with UV-irradiated spermatozoa and suppression of the second meiotic division by heat shock.
