Whisker-like barbels help it find food in dark water. Many species have sharp fin spines, so handle it carefully.
Where it lives
Rivers, lakes and estuaries almost everywhere in the world. The Australia series has a catfish video.
What it eats
Opportunistic: fish, crustaceans and whatever else it finds on the bottom.
Before you fish
Fishing rules change by country, state and season. Check them before you fish.
