Bagrus
''Bagrus'' is a genus of bagrid catfishes. These are relatively large catfish found in freshwater habitats in Africa, except for the virtually unknown ''B. tucumanus'' from South America, which likely is a Synonym (biology), synonym of ''Luciopimelodus pati''. Taxonomy The present scientific name ''Bagrus'' was first proposed by Louis Augustin Guillaume Bosc in 1816 for the bayad and its closest relatives. Although in 1809, Étienne Geoffroy Saint-Hilaire, Geoffroy Saint-Hilaire had already separated this fish in his new genus ''Porcus''. But this was overruled by the International Commission on Zoological Nomenclature, ICZN, so that the junior synonym could continue to be used.Ferraris (2007) Species Eleven living species are placed here: * ''Bagrus bajad'' (Peter Forsskål, Forsskål, 1775) (Bayad) * ''Bagrus caeruleus'' Tyson R.

Bagrus Meridionalis
The kampango or kampoyo (''Bagrus meridionalis'') is a critically endangered species of large and predatory bagrid catfish that is endemic to Lake Malawi, Lake Malombe and the upper Shire River in Africa. It prefers areas near rocks in water shallower than , but it also occurs deeper (not beyond the oxygen limit) and over a sandy or muddy bottom. Appearance and behavior The kampango is among the largest fish in the Lake Malawi basin, reaching up to about long, Konings, Ad (1990). ''Ad Konings' Book of Cichlids and all the other Fishes of Lake Malawi,'' p. 487. or possibly even . A common length is around and females are typically larger than males. Adults are overall blackish, while young are grey with dark spots. During the day kampangos hide in caves, but around dusk or dawn they hunt and eat their prey, primarily cichlids. Breeding The male digs a shallow nest in the sandy bottom, often near rocks, where the female lays several thousand eggs. After hatching, the young mos ...

Bayad
The bayad (''Bagrus bajad''), is a species of bagrid catfish from Africa. Distribution The natural habitat of the bayad are lakes and rivers in Africa. These include lakes such as Lake Chad, Lake Albert (Africa), Lake Albert, and Lake Turkana, as well as rivers such as the Nile, the Niger, and the Senegal. Description The bayad's body is generally elongated in shape. The dorsal fin has a smooth spine, and the pectoral fins have spines with serrations on the inside. There are four pairs of barbel anatomy barbels. The maxillary barbels usually reach to the ventral fin or pelvic fins. This fish is yellow-greenish or blackish with a white belly. The fins are darker, sometimes reddish purple. Juveniles have little black spots on the sides. The bayad has a maximum size of about 112 centimetres (44.1 in) fish measurement, FL.

Catfish
Catfish (or catfishes; order Siluriformes or Nematognathi) are a diverse group of ray-finned fish. Named for their prominent barbels, which resemble a cat's whiskers, catfish range in size and behavior from the three largest species alive, the Mekong giant catfish from Southeast Asia, the wels catfish of Eurasia, and the piraíba of South America, to detritivores (species that eat dead material on the bottom), and even to a tiny parasitic species commonly called the candiru, ''Vandellia cirrhosa''. Neither the armour-plated types nor the naked types have scales. Despite their name, not all catfish have prominent barbels or "whiskers". Members of the Siluriformes order are defined by features of the skull and swimbladder. Catfish are of considerable commercial importance; many of the larger species are farmed or fished for food. Many of the smaller species, particularly the genus ''Corydoras'', are important in the aquarium hobby. Many catfish are nocturnal, [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
