Abstract
In this manuscript we report a novel method of inducing tetraploid Crassostrea virginica from triploid eggs using 6-dimethylaminopurine. We compare the efficiency of cytochalasin B and 6-dimethylaminopurine for tetraploid induction. We also report the expected fecundity of triploid C. virginica females. The method of tetraploidy induction we report here will likely be useful for inducing tetraploidy in other Crassostrea spp.
