Clarias lamottei

Post by Silurus »

GG Teugels, 2003. <i>Clarias lamottei</i> (Siluriformes, Clariidae), a natural intergeneric hybrid from West Africa. Cybium, 27: 11-15.

A biometric study of four <i>Clarias</i> and two <i>Heterobranchus</i> species and including the type material of <i>C. lamottei</i>, only known by its types, showed that the latter is most probably a natural hybrid between <i>C. gariepinus</i> and <i>H. isopterus</i>. Zoogeographical evidence is given to support this.
