In this week’s ‘What’s in a Name?’, we are learning more about the critically endangered catfish - the Kashmir catfish. They are benthic inhabitants of torrential waters of rivers and streams in parts of tropical Asia. This means that they dwell at the bottom of the water body. Infact, they have adapted to attach themselves to rocks and boulders against strong currents by means of a thoracic adhesive apparatus.

Did you know that the genus Glyptothorax is the most speciose genus of catfishes in Asia with 84 nominal species? What are some interesting facts about catfish species that you know?
