Crossbreeding is a traditional breeding technique and has been performed successfully in many fish species. However, distant hybridization between different genera hard to be successful because of reproductive isolation. In this study, diploid hybrids (PL) were derived from the Ussuri catfish (Pseudobagrus ussuriensis, PU, ♀, 2n = 52) longsnout (Leiocassis longirostris, LL, ♂, 52). And morphological data, external frame parameters, chromosomal karyotypes, DNA content measurement, mitochondrial control region, species-specific marker identification applied investigate traits genetic characterization PL hybrid offspring their parents. Both quantifiable shape parameters revealed intermediate those parents; however, cluster analysis showed that morphology was more favor maternal PU. The growth comparisons had significant advantages over Based on karyotype patterns, contents DNA, origin inheritance further confirmed. According sequence variations identified genome sequences two species, one developed distinguish Therefore, study provides case for intergeneric superiority, shows promise commercial application, pending studies into its husbandry, health, welfare with larger populations fish.
