Species Guide: Catfish

North American catfish belong to the family Ictaluridae.  Ictalurids have four pairs of barbels, smooth skin, an adipose fin, and spines in front of short dorsal and pectoral fins.  There are 37 species of ictalurids, ranging from the giant blue catfish to tiny madtoms, and two species of blind catfish living in artesian wells near San Antonio, Texas.
