Catfish (order Siluriformes) are a very diverse group of bony fish. Named for their prominent barbels, which give the image of cat-like whiskers. They feature some of the smallest known vertebrates, including the candiru, the only vertebrate parasite to attack humans, as well as Mekong giant catfish, the largest reported freshwater fish. There are armour-plated types and also naked types, neither having scales. Despite their common name, not all catfish have prominent barbels; what defines a fish as being in the order Siluriformes are in fact certain features of the skull and swimbladder. Catfish are of considerable commercial importance; many of the larger species are farmed or fished for food, and some are exploited for sport fishing. Many of the smaller species, particularly the genus Corydoras, are important in the aquarium hobby. Wiki
