The measurement of cellular DNA content by DNA microfluorometry revealed that medaka embryos that were fertilized with normal sperm and exposed to heat shock (41Β°C for 3 min) or hydrostatic pressure (700 kg/cm2 for 10 min) at 85-95 min after insemination were tetraploid. Embryos fertilized with norm

β¦ Synopsis
Gravitational factors appear to influence the establishment of bilateral symmetry in amphibia, birds, elasmobranchs, chondrostean fishes, and teleostean fishes. Correlations between the plane of symmetry and the planes of the first or second cleavage have similarly been noted. Evidence is presented indicating that neither the direction of gravity nor the first or second cleavage planes can be correlated with the orientation of bilateral symmetry in the Japanese ricefish, Oryzias latipes. An alternative explanation for the previous data supporting a gravitational influence in teleostean fishes is offered.

The origin of the oocyte-like cells (testis-ova) induced by the administration of estradiol in the testis of the fish, Oryzias latipes, was examined by light and electron microscopy. A small number of testis-ova at the zygotene stage was seen on the sixth day after the beginning of treatment with es
