The Aair Long Whiskers Catfish, also known as the Aor or Mystus aor, is a freshwater catfish found mainly in South Asia, particularly in the rivers and lakes of Bangladesh, India, Nepal, and Pakistan. This fish is known for its elongated barbels, which resemble whiskers, giving it its common name. It is a medium to large-sized catfish, reaching up to 100 cm in length. The body is typically brownish or grey with a lighter belly, and it has a sleek, muscular build suited for swift movement in fast-flowing waters. This catfish is a bottom-dweller, feeding on smaller fish, insects, and detritus. Due to its size and strength, it is a prized catch for anglers and is also valued for its firm, white flesh in regional cuisines.
