Egg scattering
Banjo Catfish do not exhibit any migration patterns. They are primarily sedentary and stay within their preferred habitat.
During breeding, female Banjo Catfish lay eggs in depressions dug by the male, typically in soft substrate. The male guards the nest and fans the eggs with his pectoral fins to provide oxygen.
Some species exhibit seasonal migration
Upstream migrations for spawning

Female Barbeled Houndsharks lay egg capsules which are anchored to the ocean floor or other structures.

Barracudinas do not exhibit any specific reproductive behaviors.
Migratory within estuaries
