The name "catfish" is not a good scientific name because it is a common name that does not adhere to the standardized naming conventions used in scientific classification. Scientific names, known as binomial nomenclature, follow a specific format to ensure consistency and clarity in identifying organisms across languages and regions. Therefore, using a common name like "catfish" can lead to confusion, as there are many different species of fish that can be referred to as "catfish" in various locations.
The scientific or taxonomic name would be Ictalurus punctatus.
The scientific name of the Channel catfish is Ictalurus punctatus. It belongs to the kingdom Animalia, phylum Chordata, class Actinopterygii, order Siluriformes, and family Ictaluridae.
