Microsatellite Variability of Two Populations of Clarias gariepinus (Siluriformes, Clariidae) in Nigeria

Abstract: The study evaluated the genetic signatures of the fishes from the two populations and compared the pattern of differentiation of the two populations with a view to separating the species from the different populations into possible sub-species. Forty (40) specimens were collected from River Niger (Lokoja) and Asejire Resevoir. The DNA of the twenty (20) specimens from each population extracted from the muscle tissue using phenol-chloroform extraction (PCE) method was subjected to microsatellite DNA analysis. S… Show more

“…This value is also lower in other species of the Clariidae family [8] in individuals of Clarias gariepinus (0.45) and Heterobranchus bidorsalis (0.44). On the other hand, it is higher than that observed in populations of Clarias gariepinus from Lokoja (0.12) and Asejire (0.40) in Nigeria [21]. The difference could be explained by the number of markers used and the level of diversity within the fish samples collected.…”
