Anglers measure a European catfish (Silurus glanis) with a tape measure--a large specimen caught in the Seine River in Paris, France, on June 6, 2026. Street fishing is a popular recreational activity in Paris, where improved water quality supports dozens of fish species. Many anglers practice catch-and-release to conserve fish populations and maintain the urban river ecosystem. (Photo by Michael Nguyen/NurPhoto)
