Genetic Variation between Triploid and Diploid (Burchell, 1822) Using RAPD Markers.

This study was designed to examine the use of RAPD markers in discriminating triploid and diploid African catfish (Burchell, 1822). Following a routine technique, triploidy was induced by cold shock and confirm by erythrocyte measurement in . Thereafter, 80 RAPD markers were screened; out of which, three showed the highest percentage of polymorphism (i.
