Impact Description | From time to time, walking catfish may be seen migrating in masse from water body to water body, often traversing busy South Florida roads in the process. Scores of individual walking catfish are often killed during these movements by automobile traffic. Sections of roads such as U.S. 41 (Tamiami Trail) can actually become hazardously slick with the crushed bodies of walking catfish. |
