''Wallago attu'' ((タイ語:ปลาเค้าขาว)) is a species of catfish in the family Siluridae, or "sheatfishes". The fish is commonly known by its genus name, wallago or 'lanchi'. It is found in large rivers and lakes in much of the Indian Subcontinent and in parts of Southeast Asia. The species can reach 2.4 m (8 feet) total length. It ranges mainly across India, Nepal, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka, but is also found in Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam and Malaysia, and is also reported from Afghanistan.
This catfish is one of the fish species that has been used as food in Southeast Asia since ancient times.〔Charles Higham, A. Kijnga ed. ''The Origins of the Civilization of Angkor: Volume VI The Iron Age.'' page 43. IV 'The Fish Remains'〕
==Etymology==
In Bengal and Assam, it is known as ''Boal'' and ''Borali''. In Manipur it is commonly known by its local name "Sareng". In Indonesia and Malaysia, the wallago is known as "Ikan Tapah," and this name is the origin of the name of a Malaysian town, Tapah. In northern India it is known as buari. It is also known as Wallagonia attu, Boal Fish etc. Other names of the Sareng include the Mully Catfish, and Freshwater Shark due to its ferocity; and Helicopter Catfish. 〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=''Wallago attu'' (Helicopter Catfish): Species profile )〕
