Sisor
''Sisor'' is a genus of catfishes native to Asia. Taxonomy ''Sisor'' was previously monotypic, containing only ''S. rabdophorus'', prior to a review of the genus in 2003 in which the three species ''S. chennuah'', ''S. rheophilus'', and ''S. torosus'' were described. ''S. barakensis'' was described in 2005. ''S. rabdophorus'' is sometimes spelled ''S. rhabdophorus''; this is meant to correct the misspelling of the Greek word ''rhabdos'' meaning ''rod''. However, this is not a valid emendation. Species There are currently six recognized species in this genus: * '' Sisor barakensis'' Vishwanath & Darshan, 2005 * ''Sisor chennuah'' Ng & Lahkar, 2003 * '' Sisor pakistanicus'' Javed & Mirza, 2011Javed, M.N. & Mirza, M.R.

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] |

Uttar Pradesh
Uttar Pradesh (; , 'Northern Province') is a state in northern India. With over 200 million inhabitants, it is the most populated state in India as well as the most populous country subdivision in the world. It was established in 1950 after India had become a republic.
