| Abstract | Cytogenetic variations among four Clarias species from Anambra river, Nigeria were studied using leucocytes culture techniques. Heterogeneity in chromosome number (2n = 48 in Clarias ebriensis and C. albopunctatus to 2n = 56 in C. anguillaris and C. gariepinus) and Karyotype morphologies occurred among the c ariids The chromosomes were characterized by a high proportion of meta-submetacentric chromosomes and low proportion of acrocentric chromosomes The females karyotype morpholog es exhibited a heteromorphic pair suspected to be the sex chromosome complex. The following formulae were established for the male clariids; C ebriensis 6m + 22sm + 20a FN =76; C albopunctatus 4m ± 22sm + 22a FN = 74; C. gariepinus 8m + 24a FN = 88; and C. anguillaris 8m + 26m + 22a FN = 90. The emale karyotype morphologies were C ebriens s 6m + 23sm + 19a FN = 77, C. albopunctatus 4m ± 23sm + 21a FN = 75, C. gariepinus 8m + 25sm + 23a FN = 89 and C. anguillaris 8m + 27sm + 21a FN = 91. A generic chromosomal number of 2n = 54 l . |
