The complete 16,532-nucleotide sequence of the mitochondrial genome of the shorthead catfish (Pelteobagrus eupogon) was determined using the long and accurate polymerase chain reaction method, and compared with the mitochondrial genome sequences of 49 other catfish species belonging to the order Siluriformes. The locations of protein-coding genes and ribosomal ribonucleic acids (RNAs) were iden...

The following four species (only females available) of the Philometridae (Nematoda: Dracunculoidea) were recorded from freshwater fishes of Lake Turkana, northwestern Kenya in 2007-2008: Philometra bagri (Khalil, 1965) from the subcutaneous tissue around the mouth, on gill covers and the fin base of the bayad Bagrus bajad (Forsskål) (Bagridae: Siluriformes), Philometra lati sp. n. from the abdo...

Of Asia, Africa, and the Middle East, there are 15 genera in Bagridae family. The tropical freshwater catfish Hemibagrus hoeveniiis found Asian waters. Bagrids also known as Old World pimelodids, while New bagrids may be more accurate. In Muar, Johor, DNA barcoding has never been utilised to determine species of bagrid catfish. Therefore,this study was done updatethe checklist Baung (bagrid cat...
