In actinopterygians, the pelvic fin consists of two endochondrally-derived bony girdles attached to bony radials. Dermal fin rays (lepidotrichia) are positioned distally from the radials. There are three pairs of muscles each on the dorsal and ventral side of the pelvic fin girdle that abduct and adduct the fin from the body. [citation needed]
The anal fin has 3 spines and 11 or 12 soft rays, the base of the anal fin is roughly equal in length to the second dorsal-fin base. The pectoral fin has 15 or 16 rays, and this fin has a length which is equal to 20 to 23% of the standard length , and its tip does not reach the tip of pelvic fin ; almost all the rays of the pectoral fin are ...

"Cephalic fins": The "horns" of manta rays and their relatives, sometimes called cephalic fins, are actually a modification of the anterior portion of the pectoral fin. Pelvic/Ventral fins: Found in pairs on each side ventrally below the pectoral fins, pelvic fins are homologous to the hindlimbs of tetrapods. They assist the fish in going up or ...

It also has a little hump that looks somewhat like a wave. The typical length of a mature gafftopsail catfish is about 17 in (43 cm). The anal fin is a few inches anterior to the tail and is white or pale blue, with 22–28 rays on it and a high, anterior lobe. [3] The pelvic fin is 6–12 in (15–30 cm) anterior to the tail fin.
A mushroom-only diet for humans is considered unrealistic due to insufficient calorie intake.
