	Cunner Fish (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		The Cunner is a common fish in shallow waters around cover.
		Cunners are omnivorous feeding on a wide variety of prey including sea urchins, worms, fish eggs, molluscs and crustaceans.
		Cunner are small fish of about 1/2 pound or less.

	Cunner
		Cunners caught in deep water are often almost as red as the rosefish; on the other hand we have seen very pale ones, more or less speckled all over with flish dots, over sandy bottom.
		Cunners are also taken, here and there, along the coast, eastward to the Grand Manan Channel, sometimes in numbers as in 1928, when so many were caught "about the rocks and in the coves to the south of West Quoddy," that they were reported in the press.
		And while the cunner is reported from Black River east of St. John, New Brunswick, it seems to be unknown farther in along the New Brunswick shore of the Bay of Fundy or in Chignecto Bay and Minas Basin at the head.

		Results suggest that male plasma vitellogenin expression is not a reliable indicator of male reproductive dysfunction in adult cunner exposed to estrogens for 2-8 weeks during their reproductive season, at least in relation to capacity to produce motile sperm or fertilize eggs.
		Cunner (Tautogolabrus adspersus) is a temperate reef fish normally found near areas with abundant submerged cover, such as rocks, stone walls, or pilings.
		Cunner exhibit a well-characterized courtship behavior that culminates in a sudden rush to the surface of the water with simultaneous release of gametes by male and female fish (19-21).

		Captured cunner were transported to the laboratory in coolers filled with ambient seawater and then held in large rectangular (4,400 L) or round (1,000 L) holding tanks that were aerated and received ambient, flow-through bay seawater.
		Because cunner eggs are buoyant for a period of hours after spawning, each tank was fitted with a top drain to siphon surface water and spawned eggs.
		However, in simultaneously exposed cunner of both sexes, male plasma vitellogenin concentrations exceeding a threshold level (~15 mg/mL plasma) was a reliable indicator of reduced female reproductive function due to estrogen exposure.

	RISAA Affiliate [Save The Bay - Educational Series - Cunner] March 2001
		The cunner is a small, slender fish that belongs to the wrasse family of fish.
		Cunners live near the coastline, usually found inhabitating eelgrass beds, and swims near piers and docks and among rocks.
		Cunners will hide under rocks and around large clumps of Irish moss and other seaweeds, with the colors of the fish blending so well it makes them challenging to spot.

		She believed the ability of cunner and probably tautog to hibernate may be the key to these two species, of a basically tropical family, being able to tolerate cold water and inhabit cool-temperate waters year-round.
		Cunner, at least, survived up to 6 mo without food, using glycogen, lipids, and proteins stored in their livers (Curran 1992); tautog may do likewise.

		If you ask a Hingham boy how the cunners are biting he will be likely to throw rounded beach stones at you, thinking he is being made game of.
		There is none of the bait-stealing tomfoolery of the cunner, none of the dancing hilarity of the pollock.

	Relationship between Reproductive Success and Male Plasma Vitellogenin Concentrations in Cunner, Tautogolabrus adspersus
		There are still isolated areas of the bay that have notable cunner populations, and we have collected fish from such an area to conduct laboratory exposure experiments using 17ß-estradiol, ethynylestradiol, and estrone, all potent estrogens found in sewage treatment effluent (7,8,23).
		Cunner were exposed to 17ß-estradiol, ethynylestradiol, or estrone using a subcutaneous slow-release implant system developed in our laboratory (25).
		Vitellogenin in plasma samples from cunner in exposure experiments with either 17ß-estradiol, estrone, or ethynylestradiol was quantified by direct enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay conducted in the Biotechnology Program Laboratory at the University of Florida.

	Tautog
		The tautog suggests an overgrown cunner, but it is a heavier, stouter fish (about three times as long as deep, not counting the caudal fin) with caudal peduncle so broad and caudal fin so little wider than the peduncle that it is hard to hold a heavy one by the tail.
		The dorsal fin (16 to 17 spines and 10 soft rays) originates over the upper corner of the gill openings and runs back the whole length of the trunk; the anal (3 stout spines and 7 or 8 soft rays) corresponds in outline to the soft portion of the dorsal, under which it stands.
		Northward from Cape Cod it is unusual to catch one more than 3 or 4 miles from the land, or deeper than, say 30-60 feet; we have never heard of one caught on a long line set for cod or haddock, and they are unknown on the offshore fishing banks.

		Because cunner (bergall) are usually small and very bony, they are often used dressed and panfried with the skin on.

		This pattern was diametrically opposed to the pattern of predation risk, which was negatively correlated with habitat complexity.
		Growth of juvenile cunner differed between habitats but was unrelated to habitat complexity.
		Since the initial pattern of settlement was dramatically altered within a very short time, we concluded that habitat-mediated post-settlement processes play an important role in the population dynamics of cunner.
