A genus of small to medium-sized catfish native to North American freshwaters, commonly known as bullheads.
A scientific genus name in taxonomy; the etymology is obscure but may derive from Greek or Latin roots adapted for the fish's classification. The name has been used in biological nomenclature since the 19th century.
The brown bullhead (Ameiurus nebulosus) is one of the most invasive fish species ever introduced to Europe—accidentally brought over in shipments, they've now colonized everything from French rivers to Swiss lakes and outcompete native fish.
