The Madamango sea catfish (Cathorops spixii), also known as the Raspfin sea catfish or the Spring cuirass,[2] is a species of catfish in the family Ariidae.[3] It was described by Louis Agassiz in 1829. It is a tropical, marine and brackish water-dwelling catfish which occurs between Colombia and Brazil. It inhabits a depth range between {{convert|1|to|50|m|ft|abbr=on}}. It reaches a maximum total length of {{convert|30|cm|in|abbr=on}}, more commonly reaching a TL of {{convert|20|cm|in|abbr=on}}.[3]

The Madamango sea catfish feeds on a variety of crustaceans, including amphipods, copepods, isopods; as well as bony fish and benthic invertebrates.[4] It is preyed upon by Arius parkeri and Elops saurus.[5] It is marketed commercially.[3]
