The Steindachner's sea catfish (Cathorops steindachneri) is a species of catfish in the family Ariidae.[2] It was described by Charles Henry Gilbert and Edwin Chapin Starks in 1904. It is a tropical, marine and freshwater-dwelling catfish which occurs between Costa Rica and Peru. It dwells at a maximum depth of 20 m (66 ft).[3] It reaches a maximum total length of 36 cm (14 in), more commonly reaching a TL of 20 cm (7.9 in).[2]
The fish is named in honor of Austrian ichthyologist Franz Steindachner.[4]
Due to insufficient statistical information on the species, the IUCN redlist lists the Steindachner's sea catfish as Data Deficient. It notes that pollution and coastal development pose a threat for the species.[3] It is marketed commercially, although its small size makes it an uncommon food fish.[2]
