Cytogenetics of bisexual/unisexual species of Poecilia. V. Unisexual poeciliids with anomalous karyotypes from northeastern Mexico.

Unisexual poeciliid fishes collected from two localities in the Soto la Marina drainage have been analyzed. Unisexual diploid and triploid specimens with anomalous karyotypes were found among karyotypically normal specimens. Chromosomal data are discussed in light of the origin of clonal diversity in unisexual/bisexual breeding complexes and with regard to the role of triploids in these breeding complexes.
