1 Introduction The African catfish, also known as the African sharptooth catfish or the North African catfish, is a freshwater omnivorous species that belongs to the Claridae family and is found in tropical and subtropical climates (Omitoyin 2007). Its native distribution range spans lakes, reservoirs and rivers in sub-Saharan Africa and it has also been introduced into South America, Southeast Asia and Europe (Konings et al. 2019; Truter et al. 2023).

Abstract The African catfish (Clarias gariepinus) is a commercially important species, for both fisheries and aquaculture, and is now the most commonly farmed fish in sub-Saharan Africa. However, knowledge about the genetic diversity and population structure of wild and farmed populations, which is crucial for effective conservation and sustainable aquaculture management, is scarce.
