Subfamily Cetopsinae |
Whale catfishes (family Cetopsidae, order Siluriformes) are a small family of fishes. They are found in South America and, although their small sizes, they are feared by the native people, especially in the Amazon Basin, for causing some serious wounds with their bites.
The family also contains Helogeneidae which is now a subfamily in the cetopsidae, helogenes 4 sp.
