Neoarius Graeffei
''Neoarius graeffei'', or blue salmon catfish, is a species of catfish found in freshwater rivers of Australia and Papua New Guinea. This species is most identifiable by its large, shark-like dorsal fin that is led by a poisonous spine. Like other catfish, the blue salmon catfish is known to use electrical pulses to sense prey in the water. This prey sensing mechanism may be the reason that these catfish are known to eat the land dwelling hopping mouse at a high rate. Naming ''Neoarius graeffei'', is also known as the Australian shark catfish, blue salmon catfish, salmon catfish, or lesser salmon catfish. The species name comes from the Swiss Entomology, entomologist Eduard Heinrich Graeffe, Eduard Heinrich Gräffe, who introduced this species to science. The genus name ''Arius'' comes from the Latinization of "Ari" from "Ari gorgora," which is the local Bengali language, Bengali name for a catfish found in India. ''Neo-'' was added to ''Arius'' to denote that it is a new genus. ...
