Neoarius graeffei, or blue salmon catfish,[1] is a species of catfish found in freshwater rivers of Australia and Papua New Guinea.[2][3] This species is most identifiable by its large, shark-like dorsal fin that is led by a poisonous spine.[4] Like other catfish, the blue salmon catfish is known to use electrical pulses to sense prey in the water.[4] This prey sensing mechanism may be the reason that these catfish are known to eat the land dwelling hopping mouse at a high rate.[5]
