Species of catfish
The bronze catfish (Netuma bilineata), also known as the giant catfish, the roundsnout sea catfish, or the two-line sea catfish,[2] is a species of catfish in the family Ariidae.[3] It was described by Achille Valenciennes in 1840, originally under the genus Bagrus.[1] It inhabits marine, brackish and freshwaters throughout the Indo-western Pacific. It reaches a maximum standard length of 62 cm (24 in).[3]
The diet of the bronze catfish includes detritus such as loose scales and carcasses, as well as prawns and other crustaceans, and sea urchins.[4]
The bronze catfish is of minor interest to commercial fisheries.[3]
