More info: A catfish is a type of fish that belongs to the order Siluriformes. They are characterized by their whisker-like barbels and scaleless bodies. Catfish come in many different sizes from small species such as the dwarf or micro catfish at 4 to 5cm (1.5 to 2 inches) to the huge wels catfish, a large European species at up to 4.4mtrs (15 feet) and 300kg (660 pounds) in weight.

Some of the smaller species of catfish are popular for keeping in aquariums whilst some of the larger are edible food sources – including many North American food and sport fishes such as the blue catfish and the channel catfish, which accounts for virtually all of the commercial food fish production in the United States.
