Table 2. Summary* of induction trials to produce androgenetic Nile tilapia using UV-treated eggs (600 J m-2) from Ghana strain females inseminated with sperm from blond (Egyptian strain) tilapia and diploidized by shock (11 ± 0.5°C for 60 min) at 1.8, 2.1, and 2.4t0.

* Data from 22 trials as reported in Shelton (2000).

** Note ­ Calculation error in published report (Shelton, 2000) for percent hatch, which is relative to the control; replicates were equal numbers of eggs subdivided into four groups (control and three treatments), and the original calculations used total egg number per batch as divisor rather than number hatched in the control.
