N2  - Threestrains of Heterobranchus longifiliswere ob­tained from different ecological zones in Nigeria namely Nassarawa(NS); Kainji (KK) and Ajase Ipo, (SW).Six intra specific progenies were obtained from the cross of the threestrains from the ecological zones, hatchability was highest (94.2%) in KK x KK(Kainji strains); while the intra specific cross between KK x NS had thehighest (80.0%) hatchability. Gen­eral observation of the study point to thefact that intra specific crosses involving SW and NS male have bet­ter survivalrates.
