The giant catfish (Netuma thalassina), also known as the giant sea catfish, giant salmon catfish, giant marine-catfish, or the khagga,[1] is a species of catfish in the family Ariidae.[2] It was described by Eduard Rüppell in 1837, originally under the genus Bagrus.[3] It inhabits estuaries and occasionally freshwater bodies, in Japan, Australia, Polynesia, southern Vietnam in the Mekong Delta, the Red Sea and the northwestern Indian Ocean. It dwells at a depth range of Шаблон:Convert.[2] It reaches a maximum total length of Шаблон:Convert, but usually reaches a TL of Шаблон:Convert.

The diet of the giant catfish includes crustaceans such as crabs, shrimp, prawns and stomatopods; worms, finfish, cephalopods, sea cucumbers, and mollusks.[4][5][6] It spawns between April and August.[7]

The giant catfish is harvested commercially and recreationally.[2]
