Manaus 2003 Day 4

Post by Silurus »

Not much in the way of catfish talks today. While at the picnic on the shores of the Rio Negro last night, I saw what looked very much like small doradids swimming near the surface in search of food. Wish I had a net.
So far, I have eaten pirarucu (<i>Arapaima</i>), surubim (<i>Sorubim</i> or <i>Sorubmichthys</i>?) and tambaqui (<i>Colossoma</i>. My favorite was the pirarucu, and the surubim was a close second.
Tomorrow is the last day, which is also the day I give my talk. Wish me luck.
