Susceptibility to metazoan parasite infection in amphimictic diploid and induced triploid tench (Tinca tinca L., 1758): the role of parasites in fish aquaculture
The differences in parasite infection between triploid and diploid tench and the associations between parasite load and condition- and health-related traits may be explained by (1) presumed higher heterozygosity in triploids, (2) physiological differences related to cell size and number of cells in key organs and tissues, (3) variation in feeding performance, and (4) host-parasite coevolutionary interactions.
