Information: |
These
juvenile specimens were caught this year (2004) from the Paraná River
near the town of Parana, Argentina, 500
kms (310 miles) north of the capital Buenes Aires.
When reaching adulthood there are more spots,
they get smaller, and more spread out. The youngsters
may not have the spoon- shaped teeth yet of the
adults of the H. cochliodon group. |
