In the cooling tank of the abandoned nuclear power plant in Chernobyl, a large number of catfish were also found, which are much larger than usual ones. It was once thought that the huge size was formed due to radiation. But later studies suggested that radiation had no effect on them, instead because no one came to catch or bother them. They can grow freely, so they are larger but young in other areas.

Over time, records of the giant size of this fish also gradually appeared
