Cathorops multiradiatus is a marine catfish from the eastern part of the Pacific Ocean. It has a wide head and three pairs of long barbels near the mouth for searching for food on the bottom.
Cathorops multiradiatus differs from related species by having a greater number of rays in its fins. It helps maintain balance on the seabed by eating small animals and serves as food for large fish.
