The gilded catfish or jau (Zungaro zungaro ) is a South American catfish (order Siluriformes) of the family Pimelodidae . It is also known as manguruyu or black manguruyu .[1]
Taxonomy [ edit ]
By some sources, it is the only species of the monotypic genus Zungaro .[2] However, some sources list other species as valid, such as Zungaro jahu .[3] This species may be referred to by one of its synonyms , Brachyplatystoma flavicans .[4] This species contains two subspecies, Z. z. mangurus and Z. z. zungaro .[5]
Distribution and habitat [ edit ]
They are sexually mature upon reaching 10 kg (22 lb ) weight.[4] This fish native to the Orinoco and Amazon basins ; in the Amazon, this fish is found quite upstream, in the main bed of the big tributaries with muddy bottoms.[4]
Description [ edit ]
This fish reaches 140 cm (55 in ) in total length , and specimens measuring 130 cm (51 in ) and weighing 50 kg (110 lb ) are not rare.[4] These fish are mainly piscivorous, hunt at night, and sometimes go into flood-prone areas of rivers. Some migrations in pursuit of migrating Triportheus and Anodus have been reported. The nursery ground is at the mouths of rivers.[4]
