Growth, fatty acid composition, and reproductive parameters of diploid and triploid yellowtail tetra Astyanax altiparanae

To our knowledge, this is the first study addressing the effect of triploid induction on growth parameters of a neotropical species. The important results for carcass yield and sterility in female triploid will improve the production of A. altiparane, as this species is being used as live-bait for sport fishing and direct consumption.
