CATDOLL: Do Chinese giant catfish hibernate in winter?

There is no hibernation in winter.

In my country, the largest catfish in the Yangtze River can reach 5-6 jin, and the most common ones are only 1-2 jin. In 2011, villagers in Panyu District of Guangzhou City caught four giant mullets that were about one meter long and weighed about 40-50 jin.

In 2014, Mr. Wang, a fishing friend in Shenyang, caught a catfish weighing 92 kilograms and 1.3 meters long. In 2019, a catfish weighing 86 kilograms and 1.7 meters long was found in Chengdu. These relatively large catfish have not reached the level of giant B, so no matter how big they are, they cannot break through the genetic limitations.

Living habits:

Catfish mainly live in the middle and lower layers of rivers, lakes, reservoirs, and ponds. They are active in coastal areas. They hide in bushes, under rocks, or at the bottom of deep water during the day, and they are active at night. They hibernate in deep water mud in autumn, and their feeding rate is also reduced. Catfish are ferocious bottom-dwelling fish. They are afraid of light and like to live in rock crevices near the banks of rivers, deep pits, and soil or stone caves at the bottom of tree roots.

and slow-flowing waters. In still waters of reservoirs, ponds, lakes, and weirs. It starts to move and forage in spring. It stops eating in winter and hibernates in deep waters or caves. If nothing disturbs it, it generally does not swim.
