This document describes the principles, reagents and materials, instruments and equipment, samples, experimental procedures, and data processing for fish karyotype analysis. This document applies to karyotype analysis for fish germplasm testing.
4.Principles Stimulating fish lymphocyte division with cell division stimulants, or collecting gill filament epithelial cells and fin epithelial cells with vigorous cell division. Cells and embryonic cells were treated with colchicine to disrupt spindle fibers, thus arresting cell division at metaphase. After hypotonic treatment, fixation, slide preparation, and staining, the cells were then examined under a microscope. The cleavage phases were obtained by microscopic examination and karyotyping analysis was performed.

Dissolve in 75% ethanol. Disinfect the fish with liquid (5.2.2) and place it on a white porcelain dish (5.3.1) in a sterile room or ultra-clean workbench (6.3). The white porcelain dish should be pre-placed with sterilized gauze. Cloth or sterile wipes (5.3.2). Take head kidney, whole kidney, or spleen tissue, and wash 2-3 times in sterile saline (5.2.3). In a container... Place the sample tissue into a petri dish (5.3.3) containing 3-5 mL of culture medium (5.2.5) or a 10 mL beaker (5.3.4), and gently stir. Let it stand for 3-5 minutes. Transfer the upper cell suspension to a 25mL culture flask (5.3.5), then add an appropriate amount of culture medium. (5.2.5) Prepare each bottle to contain 4 mL or 5 mL. Add PHA solution (5.2.6) using a pipette, generally
0.1 mL per 5 mL of culture medium. Add
0.2 mL to bring the PHA (5.1.11) concentration in the culture flask to 5 µg/mL~10 µg/mL. Shake gently to mix. 8.1.1.1.2 Tissue Culture Place the inoculated culture flasks (5.3.5) flat in a constant temperature incubator or carbon dioxide incubator (6.4). The incubation temperature is generally 18°C~ The optimal incubation temperature is 28°C, and the incubation period is 1 to 5 days.
