Hardhead Catfish, found in estuaries and coastal waters of the western Atlantic, are bottom-feeders consuming crabs, mollusks, and detritus. Recognizable by sharp dorsal and pectoral spines, they can inflict painful stings. Though not a top target, they are often caught incidentally by anglers fishing for inshore species.
