Diploid hybrid fish derived from the cross between female Bleeker's yellow tail and male topmouth culter, two cyprinid fishes belonging to different subfamilies.

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND:Bleeker's yellow tail (Xenocypris davidi Bleeker, YT) and topmouth culter (Culter alburnus Basilewsky, TC) are both famous and important economic freshwater fish in China. YT, a kind of omnivorous fish, has strong resistance. TC, a kind of carnivorous fish, has high-quality meat but poor resistance. Distant hybridization can integrate the advantages of both parents. There has been no previous report regarding hybrid fish derived from female YT × male TC. It is expected that hybridization of these two kinds of fish will result in F1 hybrids with improved characteristics, such as faster growth rate, stronger resistance, and high-quality meat, which are of great significance in fish genetic breeding. RESULTS:In this study, we investigated the main biological characteristics of dipl
