sculpin

We typically use natural colors--black, brown, or olive green when fishing on or near bottom, to imitate sculpins, crustaceans, hellgrammites, and other large insects.

Seeing a golden bellied trout coming out of that water, I think I'll need to work on sculpins, streamers and sinking lines to see if I can get one of the big crocs out the Clyde while the water is high.

Behavioral interactions between round gobies (Neogobius melanostomus) and mottled sculpins (Coitus bairdi).

Heads angled down at the rocky pools, little ones (and their minders too!) can spy giant chartreuse sea anemones, purple and orange sea stars, shy hermit crabs, and darting sculpins. Lindgren preaches an eyes-only philosophy; to handle some of these creatures yourself, visit the touch tanks at the Bodega Marine Laboratory (bml.ucdavis.edu) in Bodega Bay on Friday afternoons.

Sculpins of the genus Cottus are an important component of the freshwater ichthyofauna of the Pacific Northwest.

When Donald was a young boy near Arviat, Nunavut, in 1940, he played at the beach with friends looking for sculpins. One said, "Look at that!" pointing to the sea.

Observed species were assembled into 10 functional groups: sea stars, moon snails, hermit crabs, crabs (Brachyura), other benthic invertebrates, flatfishes, sculpins, other demersal fishes, other nearshore fishes, and sea perch (Table 2).

Saffron cod (95% FO) and rainbow smelt, Osmerus mordax, (55% FO) were most prevalent, followed by sculpins (9% FO).

Birds of a feather, it is truly said, flock together, and indeed in the natural world we do not see flickers flocking with flamingos, horses herding with hippos (except etymologically) or skates schooling with sculpins. Everywhere one looks in nature, segregation by kind is the rule, not the exception.

Specifically, the camouflage may reduce the predation risk of cod and sculpins on Palaemon adspersus (Berglund & Rosenqvist, 1986).

Species that were good discriminators between gear types were capelin (seine) and slender eelblenny (trawl), and unidentified small sculpins were the most common taxa caught with both gear types.
