Shorty,
Although this does not directly answer your questions, it may be of interest to some to understand what constitutes a "triploid". I copied the below info from the link that Gumboot posted today:
"To produce a triploid grass carp, an egg must retain its first polar body, which is normally shed. A variety of methods � including electrical shock � are employed in this process. Everyone reading this is a diploid � half our chromosomes from our mother, half from our father. But by retaining the first polar body, the fish egg will retain two sets of the mother's chromosomes and one from the father, thus making it a triploid. The only reason that's worth noting is that triploids can't reproduce."
We can't legally have dipolid GC in Texas, but it would seem they would have the same general eating characteristics as a triploid, but be capable of reproduction.
