Catathyridium [Catathyridium]

Description

Catathyridium comprises a group of soles within the Achiridae family, inhabiting freshwater to brackish environments in South America. These species exhibit a flattened body shape typical of soles, with both eyes located on one side of their head. They are adept at living in soft-bottomed water bodies where they feed on small invertebrates. Catathyridium species play a crucial role in their ecosystems as both predators of smaller creatures and as prey for larger aquatic animals.
