Blacktip sea catfish ( Inglês )

fornecido por wikipedia EN

The blacktip sea catfish (Plicofollis dussumieri), also known as the Dussumier's catfish, the giant marine cat fish, the Shupanga sea catfish, or the tropical seacatfish,[2] is a species of catfish in the family Ariidae.[3] It was described by Achille Valenciennes in 1840, originally under the genus Arius.[1] It inhabits rivers and marine waters ranging between Africa and India in the Indo-western Pacific.[4] It dwells at a depth range of 20 to 50 m (66 to 164 ft). It reaches a maximum standard length of 62 cm (24 in), and a maximum weight of 1.4 kg (3.1 lb).[3]

The blacktip sea catfish feeds on finfish and benthic invertebrates.[5] It is harvested for its meat, which is marketed both fresh and dried-salted. Due to a lack of known significant threats to the species, it is currently ranked as Least Concern by the IUCN redlist.[4]
