“…The daily growth rate (0.87 g/day) observed in this study for hybrid (Clarias gariepinus x Heterobranchus bidosalis) is higher than -0.5 g/day after 24 weeks but lower than 4.14 g/day for 30 days reported by Owodehinde et al [20] for same fish species reared in earthen ponds for 24 weeks. The highest significant (p<0.05) weight gain and specific growth rate were recorded in T5 while the least value was recorded in T1.…”

This study examined the growth performance of pure bred Clarias gariepinus, Heterobrachus spp and their hybrids. The broodstocks of the species were selected and used for breeding in the Hatchery. The crosses (treatments) were pure C. gariepinus (T 1 ), Heterobranchus longifilis (T 2 ), Heterobranchus bidorsalis (T 3 ), C. gariepinus x H. longifilis (T 4 ), C. gariepinus x H. bidorsalis (T 5 ). 900 fingerlings of 32 days old were randomly selected from each of the five crosses and stocked separately in triplicate using experimental tanks. T 1 recorded the lowest significant (p<0.05) values of final weight (FW), weight gain (WG), daily growth rate (DGR) and specific growth rate (SGR). No statistical difference (p>0.05) in FW, WG, DGR and DGR among T 2 , T 3 , T 4 and T 5 but T5 had the highest values. The combination of female C. gariepinus x male H. bidorsalis (T 5 ) will be more suitable for fish farming business.

“…This hybrid is becoming popular because the fish show very fast growth, inherited from the species H. longifilis [ 2 ]. In semi-intensive systems, fry of hybrids (mean weight 7.5 g) within 24 weeks reached an average harvest weight of 880 g [ 3 ]. In addition, heteroclarias has a higher capacity to grow in unfavorable farming conditions, efficiently utilizes diverse feeds, and has increased disease resistance.…”

The increase in fish and seafood consumption observed in recent years is a consequence of the growing consumers’ awareness of proper nutrition. One of the possibilities to provide fish-friendly, qualitatively attractive (both in terms of nutrition and sensory quality) raw fish materials is the production of hybrids, which would improve production rates without compromising their meat quality. This study compares the carcass and fillet yields of Clarias gariepinus (C) and heteroclarias C. gariepinus × Heterobranchus longifilis (H), and the nutritional (chemical composition, fat quality) and culinary quality (structure, texture, color, cooking loss, sensory characteristics) of their meat. Significantly (p ≤ 0.05) higher carcass and fillet yield was shown for H, whose fillets had comparable sensory quality and proximal composition to C. The meat of H can be an attractive raw material for more demanding groups of consumers—for children and adolescents (due to the less intense fish tastiness), as well as for older people who have problems with chewing and digesting food (due to lower sensory chewiness and perception of connective tissue).

“…Hybridization is the production of progeny of parents from different lines, strains and species. It is one of the genetic improvements in aquaculture industry which has been recognized as a tool for stock improvement and management purposes (Owodeinde et al 2012). On the other hand, the reasons accounting to the poor performance of the selective breeding strain may be due to the fact that the selection may result into passing on some undesirable trait that may result in poor performance of the fish.…”

A comparative study was conducted to investigate the growth performance of three strains of Clarias gariepinus reared in concrete tanks. The experiment was carried out for the period of three weeks. Three strains of Clarias gariepinus which were compared were hybrid strain, selective breeding strain and the pure/wild strain. The experimental fish were randomly assigned to three experimental groups. Each treatment was therefore replicated three times with 60 fry per replicate in concrete tanks. At harvest there was no significant difference among Hybrid strain, Selective breeding strain and wild strain (P˃0.05) in fish’ final body weight (1.83±0.11, 1.178±0.46 and 1.739±0.42). The SGR for hybrid strain, selective breeding strain and wild strains were 12.93 ±0.23, 4.53±0.22and 12.81±0.26. The survival rate for hybrid strain, selective breeding strain and pure strain 70%, 80% and 66.66 %respectively. The was no significant difference (p˃0.05) in FCR (2.12±0.01, 2.12±0.03 and 2.11±0.01) for hybrid strain, selective breeding strain and wild strain respectively. Though the difference was not that significant the pure Clarias gariepinus had the lower FCR as compared to the others. Therefore, this study recommends that hybrid Clarias gariepinus has a good performance as compared to the selective breeding strain and the wild Clarias gariepinus.
