The Bagridae are a family of catfish that are native to Africa (Bagrus) and Asia (all other genera) from Japan to Borneo.[3] It includes about 245 species. These fish are commonly known as naked catfishes or bagrid catfishes.
Many large bagrids are important as a source of food. Some species are also kept as aquarium fishes.[3]
