The Chilhuil sea catfish (Bagre panamensis), also called the Chihuil,[2] is a species of sea catfish in the family Ariidae.[3] It was described by Theodore Gill in 1863, originally under the genus Aelurichthys.[4] 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.[5] It dwells at a depth range of 3 to 177 m (9.8 to 580.7 ft), most often between 10 to 60 m (33 to 197 ft). It reaches a maximum total length of 51 cm (20 in).[3]
The Chilhuil sea catfish is of important commercial value to fisheries, and is sold fresh.[3] It has been consumed since pre-Columbian times.[5] 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.[5]
