This study aims to elucidate the evolution of catfish research publications over recent decades, identify emerging research clusters, examine keyword patterns, determine major contributors (including authors, organizations, and funding agencies), and analyze their collaborative networks and citation bursts on a global scale. The USA, Brazil, China, and India collectively contribute approximately 67% of the total catfish research publications, with a marked increase in prevalence since 2016. The most frequently occurring and dominant keywords are "channel catfish" and "responses," respectively. Intriguingly, our findings reveal 28 distinct article clusters, with prominent clusters including "yellow catfish," "channel catfish", "pectoral girdle," "African catfish", "Rio Sao Francisco basin," "," and "temperature mediated". Concurrently, keyword clustering generates seven main clusters: "new species", "growth performance", "heavy metal", "gonadotropin-releasing", "essential oil", and "olfactory receptor". This study further anticipates future research directions, offering fresh perspectives on the catfish literature landscape. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first article to conduct a comprehensive mapping review of catfish research publications worldwide.

Aquatic Animal Medicine Department, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Benha University, Moshtohor, Toukh, Qalyubia, 13736, Egypt.
Context: Myxosporean endoparasites (phylum cnidarian) are critical pathogens that affect both wild and cultured freshwater and marine water fishes globally causing huge economic losses and high mortalities.
Study Objective: The present study investigated myxosporean infections in Nile tilapia and African catfish collected from the natural resources.
Methods: A total of four hundred Nile tilapia with an average weight (60 ± 5 g) and two hundred African catfish with an average weight (185 ± 30 g) were collected seasonally from Qalyubia Governorate, Egypt for parasitological and molecular diagnosis of isolated myxozoan species.
Haematological parameters and biochemical indices of African catfish () exposed to glyphosate-based herbicide (Force up) for 96 hours.

Article Synopsis
- - The study investigates the toxic effects of glyphosate-based herbicides on aquatic animals, focusing on haematological and biochemical impacts after exposing fish to different herbicide concentrations.
- - Seventy-five adult fish were acclimatised, then divided into control and treatment groups, with varying glyphosate concentrations administered over a 96-hour period for blood analysis.
- - Results indicated complex changes in blood parameters, with some showing initial increases but ultimately decreasing with higher glyphosate levels, and only the platelet values showed statistically significant effects.

Article Synopsis
- Environmental safety is increasingly threatened by microplastic pollution, particularly in aquatic environments, with limited studies in developing countries compared to developed regions.
- The study focused on two fish species in Nigeria's Kubanni Reservoir, revealing that fibers were the most common microplastic type found, with fish showing signs of oxidative stress and cellular damage from ingestion.
- Consumption of these fish poses significant health risks, as individuals could ingest a high number of microplastic particles, highlighting the urgent need for attention to microplastic contamination and its impacts on public health.
