Sea Catfish
The Ariidae or ariid catfish are a family of catfish that mainly live in marine waters with many freshwater and brackish water species. They are found worldwide in tropical to warm temperate zones. The family includes about 143 species. Taxonomy The relationships of this family are not yet clear. Two of the genera, '' Gogo'' and '' Ancharius'', have been moved to a separate family called Anchariidae. The Ariidae are divided into three subfamilies: ''Galeichthys'' is the only genus classified in the subfamily Galeichthyinae and similarly '' Bagre'' is the only genus in the subfamily Bagreinae, while the rest of the genera are classified in the subfamily Ariinae. Previously, the family Ariidae has been grouped in the superfamily Doradoidea, but then it was moved into Bagroidea (along with Austroglanididae, Claroteidae, Schilbeidae, Pangasiidae, Bagridae, Malapteruridae, and Pimelodidae. It has also been classified in a superfamily Arioidea containing Ariidae and Anchariidae. ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Bagre Marinus
The gafftopsail catfish (''Bagre marinus'') is found in the waters of the western central Atlantic Ocean, as well as the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean Sea. It has long, venomous spines which can cause painful wounds. It feeds on crustaceans and other fish. The male of the species fertilizes the eggs of the female, and broods them in his mouth until they hatch. The gafftopsail feeds throughout the water column. This fish is a common catch in the Southeastern US, although it may be found as far north as New York. They are considered strong fighters by anglers. They are taken from piers, jetties, reefs, and the surf, as well as bottom fishing or flats fishing. They are caught with hard lures as well as soft plastics, cut bait, and live or dead shrimp. Some fishermen use traps for catfish, a method regulated by some states. Distribution Gafftopsail catfish live on the Atlantic, Caribbean and Gulf of Mexico coastlines from Cape Cod to Brazil. They are also found in brackish waters ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Species There are currently three described species in this genus: * '' Potamarius izabalensis'' C. L. Hubbs & R. R.

Paragenidens
''Paragenidens'' is a monotypic genus of sea catfishes containing just one species, ''Paragenidens grandoculis.'' This species was formerly classified under the genus ''Potamarius'' until a 2019 study found it to be wholly distinct from it. It is endemic to Brazil, where it is known from the Doce and the Paraíba do Sul rivers and their mouths. It is highly endangered and was not seen for over 50 years until it was rediscovered during fieldwork for the 2019 study that reclassified it. It is now only known from Lagoa Nova in the municipality of Linhares in Espirito Santo ''Espirito'' (Brazilian for "Spirit") is the second album by Lawson Rollins.
