barbel
Catfish sensory appendage
A barbel is a slender, whisker-like sensory organ near the mouth of certain fish, used to detect food in murky water.
Catfish and carp have prominent barbels.
The word also names a European freshwater fish of the carp family, recognized by the four barbels hanging from its mouth.
