Abstract

The article discusses the first record of the South American sailfin catfish Pterygoplichthys multiradiatus in Bangladesh. It is noted that Pterygoplichthys multiradiatus is native to the Orinoco River system in South America, which has been introduced in several regions which include the Philippines, Puerto Rico and Hawaii. It is highlighted that its presence in Bangladesh could be attributed to this pathway or to escapes from aquaculture farms where several cyprinid species are cultured with catfishes.
