Induction of gynogenetic diploids in tilapia involves the fertilization of eggs with UV-irradiated sperm, which inactivates the sperm's genetic material while allowing the egg to develop. This process results in offspring that are genetically identical to the mother, effectively doubling the maternal genome to create diploid individuals. Gynogenetic diploids are often used in aquaculture to produce all-female populations, enhancing growth rates and improving yield. This technique also aids in genetic studies and the conservation of specific traits in tilapia.
