Bagridae are a family of catfish that originate from Africa and Asia from Japan to Borneo.[2] These fish are commonly known as naked catfishes or bagrid catfishes.

Large Bagrids are important as food fish. Some species are kept as aquarium fishes.[2]


Physical Characteristics

The dorsal fin is preceded by a spine (except in Olyra). The adipose fin is present and can have a relatively long base in some species. The pectoral fin spine can be serrated. The body is completely naked (they have no scales). The maximum length is about 1.5 m.[2] Fishes of the Bagridae family have four pairs well-developed barbels; these four pairs of barrels are covered by a layer of taste bud-enriched epithelium.[3] Binomial name Olyra burmanica Day, 1872 Olyra collettii (Steindachner, 1881) Olyra horae (Prashad & Mukerji, 1929) Olyra kempi Chaudhuri, 1912 Olyra longicaudata McClelland, 1842 Olyra is a genus of catfishes (order Siluriformes) of the family Bagridae. ... The word serration has several meanings: A serrated edge is one with a running pattern of regular, triangular teeth. ... This koi carp has two pairs of barbels, the second pair being quite small. ... Taste buds are small structures on the upper surface of the tongue, soft palate, and epiglottis that provide information about the taste of food being eaten. ... Types of epithelium This article discusses the epithelium as it relates to animal anatomy. ...


Taxonomy

The taxonomy of this family has changed rapidly. Nelson (2006) comments how "the family is very different from that recognized in Nelson (1994)". Claroteidae and Austroglanididae contain species that were previously Bagrids. Auchenoglanididae is considered by some sources to be a subfamily of Claroteidae and by others to be its own family, sister to Heptapteridae. Taxonomy of the genera Olyra has been debated.[2] Genera Subfamily Auchenoglanidinae Auchenoglanis Liauchenoglanis Notoglanidium Parauchenoglanis Platyglanis Subfamily Claroteinae Amarginops Bathybagrus Chrysichthys Clarotes Gephyroglanis Lophiobagrus Pardiglanis Phyllonemus The Claroteidae are a family of catfish (Order Siluriformes), part of class Actinopterygii (ray-finned fishes). ... Species Austroglanis barnardi Austroglanis gilli Austroglanis sclateri Austroglanis is the only genus in the catfish family Austroglanididae. ... Genera Acentronichthys Brachyglanis Brachyrhamdia Cetopsorhamdia Chasmocranus Gladioglanis Goeldiella Heptapterus Horiomyzon Imparfinis Leptorhamdia Mastiglanis Myoglanis Nannoglanis Nemuroglanis Pariolius Phenacorhamdia Phreatobius Pimelodella Rhamdella Rhamdia Rhamdioglanis Rhamdiopsis Taunayia Heptapteridae is a family of catfish that originate from Mexico to South America. ...


It is unsure if the family is monophyletic and what its relationship to other catfishes is.[2]
