A new genus and species of
cottoid fish from Departure Bay, Vancouver Island.
We caught them at 20 m parasitizing
cottoid fishes.
ABSTRACT--The Bigmouth Sculpin, Hemitripterus bolini, is a cottoid fish in the family Hemitripteridae found throughout the Bering Sea and Gulf of Alaska to British Columbia, Canada, and northern California.
The Bigmouth Sculpin, Hemitripterus bolini (Meyers 1934), is a cottoid fish in the order Scorpaeniformes, family Hemitripteridae.
A new name for the Alaskan cottoid fish Ulca marmorata (Bean).
This paper deals with the small ossicles such as bony platelets, scutes, tubercles, prickles, ossified sensory line segments, oral and branchial denticles and ossified gill raker tubercles of the cottoid families Cyclopteridae and Liparidae of the Baltic Sea.
The morphology, variability, ultrasculpture and inferred growth of small dermal and other ossicles of Cyclopterus lumpus (lumpsucker) and Liparis liparis (sea snail) from the Baltic Sea can be compared with those seen in three genera and species (Triglopsis quadricornis--fourhorn sculpin, Myoxocephalus scorpius--shorthorn sculpin, Taurulus bubalis--longspined bullhead) of the related cottoid family Cottidae (sculpins) as described by Marss et al.
Contributions to the Systematics of the Cottoid Fishes (Teleostei: Scorpaeniformes).
Other subjects include copulatory structures, signaling and courtship, adaptation and evolution of reproductive mode in copulating
cottoid species, fertilization, sex determination, and parental care, as well as reproduction in relation to conservation and exploitation of marine fishes, cryopreservation of gametes, embryogenesis and development, and molecular genetics of the development of the Zebrafish.
Classic examples include the diverse (but now nearly extinct) cyprinid minnows of Lake Lanao in the Philippines (Herre 1924), the
cottoid sculpins of Lake Baikal in Russia (Berg 1965), the pupfishes in Laguna Chichancanab in Mexico (Humphries and Miller 1981), and the cichlid species flocks of the African Rift Valley lakes (Moore 1903; Greenwood 1981).
Other subjects covered include sexual selection, signaling and courtship, adaptation and evolution of reproductive mode in copulating
cottoid species, sex determination, parental care, cryopreservation of gametes, and reproduction in relation to conservation and exploitation of marine fishes.
Recent molecular studies suggest that
cottoids are not close to Scorpaeniformes (e.g.
