Black-eared Catfish
Pangasius larnaudii
Pangasius larnaudii, the black ear catfish, or the spot pangasius is a species of freshwater shark catfish endemic to Mekong and Chao Phraya basins.
The fish can grow up to 130 cm (4.3 ft) in length and weigh around 46 kg (101.4 lb). It resembles the giant pangasius (P. sanitwongsei) in the same genus, but differs in having shorter, less pointed fins, a rounder belly, and a distinct large black spot located just behind the pectoral fin.
