Three species ( Arius heudeloti Valenciennes, 1840 , A. latiscutatus (discussed below) and A. parkii Günther, 1864 ) occur in the sea off tropical West Africa and one was recorded by Irvine. On average about 22 000 tonnes of sea catfishes are recorded as being caught in the region each year ( FAO, 2000).
