The bronze catfish (Netuma bilineata), also known as the giant catfish, the roundsnout sea catfish, or the two-line sea catfish,[1] is a species of catfish in the family Ariidae. It was described by Achille Valenciennes in 1840, originally under the genus Bagrus. It inhabits marine, brackish and freshwaters throughout the Indo-western Pacific. It reaches a maximum standard length of 62cm (24inches).
The diet of the bronze catfish includes detritus such as loose scales and carcasses, as well as prawns and other crustaceans, and sea urchins.[2]
The bronze catfish is of minor interest to commercial fisheries.
