CHAPTER ONE INTRODUCTION 1.1 BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY The demand for high quality protein especially from aquatic resources is rising, Clarias gariepinus is the most common and have received much attention because of its economic importance and high rate of success in rearing them (Adewolu et al. 2009). Albinism in catfish is the best known potentially valuable qualitative traits and inherited as a single homozygous recessive trait (Bondari, 1981). The ...

ABSTRACT The effect of albino gene on intraspecific hybridazation of African Catfish and Albino Clarias gariepinus was carriedout to determined their latency period, fecundity, fertility, hatchability survival,  growth  performance,  some  morphometric and  meristics  characteristics  and  genetic characterization  of  parents  and  offspring  of  F1  generation.  A  total  of  four  (4)  mating combination experiments were conducted using eight (8) ripped, matured normal and albino Clarias gariepinus with average body weight of 1.64kg. ...
