Species Overview

바라문디

The barramundi is a large, catadromous predator native to the Indo-West Pacific. It is a protandrous hermaphrodite, beginning life as male and transitioning to female after several years. Highly prized in both sport fishing and aquaculture.

Channel Catfish

The channel catfish is the most abundant and widely fished catfish species in North America. It has a keen sense of smell, with taste buds distributed across its entire body, enabling it to locate food in murky water.
