Clarias
''Clarias'' is a genus of catfishes (order Siluriformes) of the family Clariidae, the airbreathing catfishes. The name is derived from the Greek ''chlaros'', which means lively, in reference to the ability of the fish to live for a long time out of water. Taxonomy ''Clarias'' has been found to be paraphyletic. A species of ''Heterobranchus'' (''H. longifilis'') clusters deeply inside the ''Clarias'' group. Distribution They are found in inland waters throughout much of the Old World, and are one of the most widespread catfish genera in the world. The genus is found in Southeast Asia and East Asia westwards through India and the Asia Minor to Africa. The diversity of these catfishes is highest in Africa. Some (notably the walking catfish) have become pest species where they have been accidentally introduced, and particularly in Cuba, where their introduction was intentional. Description ''Clarias'' species are recognized by their long-based dorsal and anal fins, which give them a ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Broadhead Catfish
The broadhead catfish (''Clarias macrocephalus'') is an economically important air-breathing catfish that is a native of Southeast Asia. The fish is fish farming, farmed in ponds for use in human consumption in countries such as Thailand ( th, ปลาดุกอุย) and the Philippines. However, native populations now face extinction due to man-made activities and genetic introgression due to interbreeding with escaped aquaculture hybrids. In Thailand both this fish and the walking catfish ''(Clarias batrachus)'' are known as ''Pla Duk'' ( th, ปลาดุก). They are common inexpensive food items, prepared in a variety of ways, being often offered by street vendors, especially barbecued or fried. Description The broadhead catfish is identified by its large dorsal fin and its short and rounded occipital process. The occipital process is pointed in ''Clarias batrachus'', a closely related species. Another identifying feature for the broadhead catfish is the white spots ...
