Triploidia em organismos marinhos: uma análise bibliométrica.

Abstract

Triploidy can be defined as the presence of three complete sets of chromosomes in cells. The induction of this state can be performed in some animals as a method to obtain advantageous characteristics for aquaculture. The present study aims to provide a bibliometric analysis on research trends related to the use of triploidy in marine organisms. The analysis included scientific productions indexed to the Scopus and Web of Science databases, from 1984 to 2021. The compiled data was converted to the R-data reading format with the RStudio software along with the use of the Bibliometrix package. The analyzes were performed using the Biblioshiny tool. A total of 190 articles published among 78 different journals were obtained, with the participation of 619 authors and collaboration between different countries. For the period analyzed, there was an annual growth rate of publications of 7.36%. Canada, the United States and Norway were the countries with the highest number of publications. The most frequent topics were represented on a thematic map according to a ranking of centrality and density. Topics such as "growth", "survival", "sterility", "Atlantic salmon", and "Crassostrea gigas" were classified as basic themes, with great relevance for the structuring of the research field, but still in development. These data provide important information on trends in triploidy studies with marine organisms, contributing to future studies in this field of research.
