Paratilapia polleni Bleeker, 1868

The karyotype of P. polleni is composed of 2n = 44 chromosomes, 16 m /sm and 28 st/t, including a large submetacentric pair and a large acrocentric pair (FN = 60) (Tab. I). The 18S rRNA genes are located on the terminal region of short arms of one acrocentric pair, the fourth one in size ( Fig. 2 ).
