EDITORS COMMENTS
Meet Anarhichas lupus, the Atlantic catfish, or more accurately, the Atlantic wolffish. This fascinating deep-sea dweller is a bottom-dwelling fish native to the temperate and boreal waters of the northern hemisphere. Belonging to the Anarhichadidae family, it is technically classified as a wolffish, not a catfish. Despite its name, this bony fish, belonging to the Actinopterygii class and the Perciformes order, boasts a fierce appearance. Its long, grey body is adorned with small, sharp teeth and a set of powerful jaws. The most striking feature of this fish is its large, expressive eyes, which seem to convey a sense of curiosity and intelligence. The Atlantic catfish's anatomy is perfectly adapted to its deep-sea environment. Its thick, grey skin helps it blend in with the rocky seafloor, while its long, ray-finned pectoral and dorsal fins enable it to maneuver effectively on the ocean floor. Its lips are covered in small, sensory pores, which help it detect prey in the dark depths. Despite its fierce appearance, the Atlantic catfish is not a threat to humans. It is a valuable species for marine ecosystems and plays an important role in maintaining the balance of the food chain. The next time you dive into the deep waters of the Atlantic, keep an eye out for this fascinating, friendly, and fierce creature.
