Description
Latin name: Plotosus minor.
Status: Least concern.
Diet: Filter feeder.
Distribution: In the indian ocean and the western Pacific ocean.
This catfish is widely spread, and hides away in deep waters during the day and rises to the surface in huge shoals during the night in order to feast on plankton and other microorganisms. Tynamo has a small electric organ that helps it to navigate and if they feel threatened they can give of a weak electric shock in order to protect themselves.
Tynamos are not considered very tasty, but is often netted as a bycatch by fishing trawlers. The combined shocks from a distressed shoal can momentarily stun other fishes in the net.
