Abstract
Morphological differences among two cultured and three wild bighead catfish (Clarias macrocephalus) populations, and introduced North African catfish (Clarias gariepinus) and hybrids (C. macrocephalus x C. gariepinus) collected in the Mekong Delta, Viet Nam, were assessed using five meristic and 21 morphometric measurements. Wild and cultured C. macrocephalus differed significantly at 19 of 21 morphometric traits (P
