Description The performance of I and II meiotic triploids and
control oysters (Crassostrea madrasensis) reared at
Tuticorin Bay was compared to determine if the improvements
in the growth of edible oysters were additive
to faster growth in triploids. After a grow-out
period of 12 months, both mean whole weights and
shell heights were in order Imeiotic triploid4IImeiotic
triploid control. Mean whole weights and shell
height of diferent oyster lines were all signi¢cantly
different (Po0.05). On an average, larger morphological
traits indicated that growth improvements from
triploids were additive, and throughout the study triploid
oystersmaintained faster growth rate than their
diploid siblings. Condition index and adductormuscle
diameter of both triploids were higher than those of
control.
