1. cyclopterus lumpus

   Cyclopterus lumpus, commonly known as the lumpfish, is a species of marine fish in the family Cyclopteridae (lumpfishes). It is found in the cold waters of the North Atlantic Ocean. Lumpfish are known for their body structure, which is large, round, and covered in bumpy tubercles instead of smooth scales. They have a small, round, sucker-like pelvic fin used to adhere to rocks and other substrates. Male lumpfish are characterized by their vibrant blue and purple coloration during the breeding season, while females usually have a duller, greenish-brown color.

1. Cyclopterus lumpus

   Cyclopterus lumpus, the lumpsucker or lumpfish, is a species of marine fish in the family Cyclopteridae. It is the only member of the genus Cyclopterus. It is found over rocky bottoms in the North Atlantic and adjacent parts of the Arctic Ocean, ranging as far south as Chesapeake Bay on the North American coast and Spain on the European coast. Males typically reach 30–40 cm in length and the larger females rarely surpass 50 cm in length and 5 kg in weight. The maximum is 61 cm in length and 9.5 kg in weight. Its colour is highly variable and mature males, which turn reddish during the breeding season, are brighter than females. The female can carry 100,000–350,000 eggs, which are laid in a "nest" that is made in relatively shallow water by the male. The male also guards and cares for the eggs. It is often caught for the roe, made into an inexpensive caviar, and the flesh is eaten in Scandinavia.
