Abstract

Full siblings of diploid and triploid walking catfish Clarias batrachus were reared in rectangular fiberglass tanks starting at the age of three weeks. Growth performances of diploids and triploids were compared by feeding with a 30 percent protein diet. At the end of the study period growth rate was found to be insignificantly different (P less than 0.05) between the diploid and the triploid. However triploid fish had poorly developed gonads. Triploid ovaries contained fewer primary oocytes with some abnormal maturing oocytes. Triploid testes contained fewer semiferous tubules and a larger amount of connection tissue.
