Description
The gafftopsail catfish is distinguished by large, venomous, serrated spines on its dorsal and pectoral fins, which can cause serious injuries. Nevertheless, some anglers love to fish for it, while others consider it a waste of bait. It is more commonly eaten in the Caribbean and South America than in the North American countries. Commercial harvesting occurs mainly for industrial purposes.
