LELE LAUT YANG DISEBUT SEBAGAI HIU
Meskipun disebut “hiu”, ikan ini sebenarnya adalah sejenis lele laut yang bisa hidup di air tawar. Mereka mampu beradaptasi di air payau dan air tawar, yang membantunya bermigrasi dan berkembang biak. Kumisnya digunakan untuk mendeteksi mangsa di perairan berlumpur dengan visibilitas rendah. Karena minimnya penelitian, banyak aspek dari ekologi dan perilaku ikan ini yang masih belum diketahui secara mendalam. Dagingnya sering dikonsumsi dan dijual di pasar ikan lokal, terutama di Kalimantan dan Sumatra.
A SEA CATFISH CALLED A SHARK
Although referred to as a “shark,” this fish is actually a type of sea catfish that can live in freshwater. It can adapt to both brackish and freshwater environments, which helps it migrate and reproduce. Its whiskers are used to detect prey in murky waters with low visibility. Due to the lack of research, many aspects of its ecology and behavior remain poorly understood. Its meat is commonly consumed and sold in local fish markets, especially in Kalimantan and Sumatra.
