ABSTRACT
The swimming performance, as judged by maximum sustained swimming speed, of African catfish, Heterobranchus longifilis (Val) from a fish farm near Port Harcourt, Nigeria was low when compared to previous published values for this species. This is ascribed to a localized peculiarity resulting from hatchery selection and rearing procedures.
