Gametogenic stages in triploid oysters Crassostrea gigas: Irregular locking of gonial proliferation and subsequent reproductive effort (2010, background): “The reduction of gametogenesis in triploid oysters enhances marketability during the reproductive season and improvesmeat quality (Nell, 2002).”
Diploid and triploid Pacific oysters, Crassostrea gigas (Thunberg), reared at two heights above sediment in Marennes-Oleron Basin, France: Difference in mortality, sexual maturation and hemocyte parameters (2006, background): “Triploid oysters invest less energy in gamete production, so more energy is available for somatic growth (Nell, 2002).”
Mass mortalities of Pacific oysters Crassostrea gigas reflect infectious diseases and vary with farming practices in the Mediterranean Thau lagoon, France (2012, background): “Triploid oysters are preferred over diploid ones because they often show faster growth, better survival and a much smaller gonad development compared with their diploid counterparts (e.g. Nell 2002; for review, Normand et al. 2009).”
