North American eel and the European eel
The catfish commonly found in the Seine River in Paris is the European catfish, also known as the wels catfish (Silurus glanis). This species can grow quite large and is known for its distinctive long body and whisker-like barbels. It has adapted well to various freshwater environments, including the Seine, where it has become a popular target for anglers.
Catfish are a diverse group of fish that have been known and utilized by various cultures for thousands of years, so it's difficult to attribute their "discovery" to a single person. Indigenous peoples of North America, for example, were among the first to catch and consume catfish long before European colonization. Therefore, catfish were not so much discovered as they were recognized and utilized by different cultures throughout history.
The scientific or taxonomic name would be Ameiurus melas (formerly Ictalurus melas).
There are many fish in the catfish family, but here is a list of selected common species; Blue catfish-Ictalurus Furcatatus, Channel catfish-Ictalurus Punctatus, White catfish-Ameiurus Catus, Flathead Catfish-Pylodictis Olivaris.
