Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Speciesbox Chilhuil sea catfish (Bagre panamensis), also called the Chihuil,[1] is a species of sea catfish in the family Ariidae.[2] It was described by Theodore Gill in 1863, originally under the genus Aelurichthys.[3] It inhabits subtropical marine and brackish waters in the eastern Pacific region, including California, USA; Colombia, Guatemala, Peru, El Salvador, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Honduras, Nicaragua, Panama and Mexico.[4] It dwells at a depth range of Шаблон:Convert, most often between Шаблон:Convert. It reaches a maximum total length of Шаблон:Convert.[2]

The Chilhuil sea catfish is of important commercial value to fisheries, and is sold fresh.[2] It has been consumed since pre-Columbian times.[4] Due to its wide distribution in the eastern Pacific, as well as a lack of known threats or observed population decline, the IUCN redlist currently lists the species as Least Concern. It notes that the species' range partially includes areas under marine protection.[4]
