Relevant 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. |
