Man catches fantastic and rare albino catfish in Missouri river
Date: 2021-06-04 00:00:00
Kevin Markway caught this fantastic and rare albino catfish on the Missouri River.
"Like other albino wildlife, albino blue catfish are rare," the Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) commented in a Facebook post. "It's a recessive trait, and most don't survive because they are more noticeable to predators when they are young."
The good news is that this particular fish has managed to survive for 8-10 years, according to the MDC. The best news is that Markway released it back into the river!
