English term or phrase: shovelnose catfish
With headlamps and flashlights breaking the darkness, team members hunt for nocturnal feeders. "It's important to collect during the day and night because certain fish come out for only a short time," says researcher Jonathan Armbruster. Otherwise an accurate count of various species—such as the **shovelnose catfish** and various types of knifefish—might never come to light.

Tigerspatelwels und Schaufelmaul schient derselbe Fisch zu sein
hier http://www.aquanet.de/privat/kochsiek-aqua/antennenwelse.htm... diesmal unter dem lat. Namen Pseudoplatystoma fasciatum
der Spatelwels (ohne Tiger) wird hier tatsächlich unter Sorubim lima geführt.

Nachträglich setze ich mal besser meine überzogene Antwortsicherheit ein wenig zurück und beuge mich den ausgewiesenen Fischkennern

  -> nachdem ich jetzt bestimmt 10 verschiedene Aquarianer-Webseiten angeschaut habe, bin ich einigermaßen verwirrt, wahrscheinlich ist Spatelwels richtig
