Walking catfish
The walking catfish is a freshwater fish that can crawl across wet land to reach new water. It lives in Southeast Asia and has also been introduced to places such as Florida. Its spiny defence is the reason it needs careful handling.1

- Elongated body, grey or grey-brown in colour1
- Often covered on its sides with small white spots1
- Long dorsal and anal fins, and several pairs of sensory barbels1
- Scaleless skin covered in mucus1
- No adipose fin, a small fleshy fin on the back near the tail1
Ina jiiɓindiree e: It is often confused with North American ictalurid catfish and with close relatives such as C. magur. The walking catfish can be told apart from the North American ictalurid catfish because it lacks an adipose fin.1

It is also harmful as an invasive species, because it eats the food of native fish, preys on their young and can destroy fish farms.1

Anndal
It can survive 18 hours out of water.1
It moves over land with snake-like wiggles, using its pectoral fins to stay upright.1
In Florida, fish farmers have had to put up fences to protect their ponds from them.1
It often rises to the surface to gulp air, because it breathes air as well as using water.1
Walking catfish were imported to Florida in the early 1960s for aquaculture, and escapes led to wild populations.1
In Indonesia it is known as lele and is the main ingredient in dishes such as pecel lele.1
Feññinoowo goonga
Fenaande: The walking catfish truly walks on land like a four-legged or two-legged animal.
Goonga: It does not walk in that way. It uses its pectoral fins to stay upright while it wiggles its body in snake-like movements.1
