Abstract

The chromosome number and morphology of clarias batrachus from Laguna de Bay were studied Caudal fin borders were used as the source of chromosomes. three well-spread metaphase cells were used for karyotypics analysis. The type of chromosomes were was designated following levan et. al. (1964). The study revealed that the diploid chromosome number of G. batrachus was 52. The mean relative length ranged from 3.84 to 3.85. the diploid chromosome complement consisted of 8 to 12 pairs of chromosomes with median centromere, 14 to 16 pairs with terminal centromere, 1 pair with submedian centromere and 1 pair with sub telocentric centromere.
