Al Dente Posted July 12, 2022 Share Posted July 12, 2022 Does this have a single row of spines or a double row? If it is a single row, I don't think it could be from a Chimaera. Double row, probably is a Chimaera. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many catfish have serrated pectoral spines but usually on the inside of the curve or sometimes on both sides. Yours has serrations on just the outside. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
