Ictaluridae The North American catfish has acquired an association with American Southern folklore which exceeds its place as a mere food fish. The image of cane-pole fishing for catfish at a proverbial lazy stream has become a stand-by of southern Americana.
Ictaluridae Though the family includes three genera of blind, subterranean, and troglobitic catfishes, "Trogloglanis", "Satan", and "Prietella", none of these three genera is closely related. Instead, "Satan" is closely related to "Pylodictis", "Prietella" to "Noturus", and "Trogloglanis" possibly to "Ictalurus", although it may not be closely related to any of the other ictalurids. "Ameiurus" is sister to a clade formed by "Satan", "Pylodictis", "Noturus", and "Prietella".
Ictaluridae One of the largest species is the blue catfish, "Ictalurus furcatus", specimens of which have been found to weigh over . The maximum length is in the blue catfish and the flathead catfish. The bullheads, though, are small catfish which at maturity often weigh less than 0.5 kg (1 lb), while the madtoms (genus "Noturus") are in general much smaller.
Ictaluridae In some areas, the bullhead is seen as a desirable quarry, for its fighting qualities exceed its size. In other areas, it is seen as a nuisance fish due to its efficient bait-stealing qualities.
Ictaluridae Ictalurids originate from North America from southern Canada to Guatemala. Both bullheads and madtoms tend to be found in small streams and ponds, but are also known in larger bodies of water. Channel catfish, bullheads, and madtoms are "bottom feeders" with widely varied diets that include scavenging.
