Growth chart. The largest recorded weight for a gafftopsail catfish is 4.54 kg (10.0 lb) [7] and 69 cm (27 in) in length. [8] A more common weight and length of gafftopsails caught is 1–2 lb (450–910 g) and 12–16 in (30–41 cm). As gafftopsail catfish grow longer, they increase in weight, but the relationship is not linear.
Spawning triggers allow many fish to synchronize their breeding, making it more probable that individual fish will find a mate. In most cases, if these triggers were not present, male and female fish would not meet at the right stage and the number of offspring would be reduced.
Dolichandra unguis-cati, commonly known as cat's claw creeper, funnel creeper, [2] or cat's claw trumpet, [2] is a rapidly growing climbing vine belonging to the family Bignoniaceae. [3] It affects all plant layers of the forest ecosystem spreading rapidly both vertically and horizontally.
The range extends as far north as Canada, as far west as Texas, and south to the Gulf of Mexico including northeastern Mexico. The flathead catfish cannot live in full-strength seawater (which is about 35 parts per thousand or about 35 grams of salt per liter of water), but it can survive in 10 ppt for a while and thrive in up to about 5 ppt.

The orange cat in this video is desperate to catch a bug hanging out on the ceiling of his home—so desperate, in fact, that he may be taking his very life in his hands.
Some particular types of migration are anadromous, in which adult fish live in the sea and migrate into fresh water to spawn; and catadromous, in which adult fish live in fresh water and migrate into salt water to spawn. [2] Marine forage fish often make large migrations between their spawning, feeding and nursery grounds. Their movements are ...
