Sports fisherman reported yesterday capturing a rare catfish not generally known to local Mazatlán fishermen.
The catfish was seen swimming near the surface of the water in an erratic manner, causing the boat crew to think it may be ill or dead.
It was picked up 15 nautical miles from Mazatlán by the crew of “Paty C” of the Bibi sports fishing flotilla.
Those responsible for its capture, Alejandro Teno and his son, explained the scientific name of the fish is Bagre Pinnimaculatus whose habitat is off the coasts of southern Mexico, Ecuador and other Central and South American countries on the Pacific Ocean. (from Noroeste)
