'Deshi magur fish farming is profitable. All catfish are not ban. Clarias batrachus is a freshwater species which is airbreatinng. It is called walking catfish for its ability to \"walk\" and wiggle across dry land, to find food or suitable environments. This fish normally lives in slow-moving and often stagnant waters in ponds, swamps, streams, and rivers, as well as in flooded rice paddies, or temporary pools that may dry up. When this happens, its \"walking\" skill allows the fish to move to other aquatic environments. The native range of true Clarias batrachus is confirmed from the Indonesian island of Java only, but three closely related and more widespread species frequently have been confused with this species. These are C. magur of northeast India and Bangladesh, a likely undescribed species from Indochina, and another likely undescribed species from the Thai-Malay Peninsula, Sumatra, and Borneo. Both of these undescribed species have been referred to as, Clarias aff. batrachus. At present, the taxonomic position of the Philippines population (called hito or simply \"catfish\" by the locals) is unclear, and it also is unclear whether South Indian populations are C. magur or another species. As a consequence, much information (behavioral, ecological, related to introduced populations, etc.) listed for C. batrachus, may be for the closely related species that have been confused with true C. batrachus.True C. batrachus, C. magur and the two likely undescribed species are all kept in aquaculture.'
