Definition
A small South American fish of the catfish family, also known as the wood catfish, found in Amazonian waters.
Etymology
From Portuguese or Tupí (indigenous Amazonian language), likely 'assacú' or similar, transferred into English through Portuguese colonial naturalists and 18th-19th century scientific descriptions of Amazonian fauna. The exact etymological origin is uncertain but reflects Amazonian indigenous knowledge.
Kelly Says
The assacu and other Amazonian catfish were essential to colonial and indigenous nutrition, yet most never received detailed scientific study—many species remain so obscure that their ecology is essentially unknown, and some may already be extinct before science fully documents them.
