Title: Unknown fish from Parana River in South America
Post by: VAGAbond on February 05, 2017, 10:43:33 AM

Anybody know what kind of fish this is?   My guess is a type of catfish.

Catfish, they fish for them in a similar manner to our sturgeon. Big fishery for Brazilians, at least when I was there the lodge I was in was full of them.
