🐟Bagarius yarrelli

Bagarius yarrelli (Sykes, 1839)

Bagarius yarrelli (lokal und im Englischen als „Goonch“ bezeichnet) ist eine Fischart aus der Gattung der Teufelswelse (Bagarius) und der Familie der Gebirgswelse (Sisoridae). Sie kommt von den Flusssystemen des Indus und Ganges über große Teile Südindiens bis zum Mekong und Xe Bangfai und nach Indonesien vor. Die Art wird wirtschaftlich genutzt und frisch verkauft, das Fleisch verdirbt allerdings sehr schnell und kann dann zu Vergiftungen führen. Die Art ist bei Sportfischern unbeliebt, da sie stark genug ist, die meisten Angelschnüre zu zerreißen.
