I thought I was struggling with this one, and ended up clearing all the catfish on the standard game, bar one pesky fish that you get trapped in a very small underwater room with, in the "Temple of Xian", and kept getting bit. My original plan was to just ignore this and come back to it, but they are also present in the expansion as well.
As a result I found that this is actually unlocked on the third level of "Golden Mask" (Furnace of the Gods), and unlocks when you hit the result screen.
At the start of the level, shortly after you have picked up the mask (achievement for picking this up and speed running the pick up in 50 seconds or less), another area opens. Upon sliding down, into a very narrow passage, a lone catfish chases you. If you are going for all the pick ups in one run, I found that by swimming to the exit (rat room), and jumping back in, enabled me to outswim the lone fish that chased me, so I could pick up the harpoons.
Hope this helps anyone that is wondering how to unlock!

I feel your pain. The catfish on the temple of Xian were a massive pain in the arse. Especially the one that was in the under water lever pool. I hope my theory is correct, as I didn’t get bit by any of them except this one in the extremely small dark underwater room, a few seconds before you enter the spider cave. I have up and made a back up save to come back to it. Luckily though there is only a handful of catfish in the expansion that are very easy to deal with. Only one that will give you a bit of bother is the one that is mentioned above if you are going for all the collectables pick ups!
Good luck with your run!

Bro, I feel so dumb right now. I have cleared every single catfish in the game, (including that little bastard in the pool on the deck of the Maria Doria guarding the Gold treasure) got to what I'm assuming is that exact same golden catfish in the Temple of Xian because I have to pull that lever and he's too fast, and now I find out none of this was necessary, and I could have been blasting every one of these little mugs from the safety of dry land. This is why I shouldn't achievement hunt on a first playthrough. I am not peeking at TRIII, I'm just not. Appreciate the info immensely!

This is unlocked in the Furnace of the Gods level, you do not need any other levels for the achievement.
Simply complete the level without killing or being bitten by any catfish. There are only 3 areas where they appear and they are very easy to avoid. Just keep saving and reload if you fail.
