Chinese paddlefish Species of fish

The Chinese paddlefish, also known as Chinese swordfish, is a reportedly extinct species of fish that was native to the Yangtze and Yellow River basins in China. At maturity, the species measured an average length of 3 m (9.8 ft), making it one of the largest species of primarily freshwater fishes. It was the only species in the genus Psephurus and one of two living species in the paddlefish family (Polyodontidae), the other being the American paddlefish. It was an anadromous species, meaning that it spent part of its adult life at sea, while migrating upriver to spawn. Unlike its close relative, the Chinese paddlefish was largely piscivorous, and mainly preyed on small to medium-sized fish.
