Salminus brasiliensis, also known as the golden dorado, dorado, river tiger, dourado, or jaw characin is a large, predatory characiform freshwater fish found in central and east-central South America.[2] Despite having Salminus in its name, the dorado is not related to any species of salmon,[3] nor to the saltwater fish also called dorado. It is very popular among recreational anglers and supports large commercial fisheries.[4]
