Species Overview
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.
Clownfish
The ocellaris clownfish is a protandrous sequential hermaphrodite that lives in a mutualistic relationship with sea anemones. Its mucus coating protects it from anemone stings. All individuals are born male and the dominant fish transitions to female.
