	lumpsucker (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Lumpsuckers or Lumpfish are mostly small scorpaeniform marine fish of the family Cyclopteridae.
		While the lateral line in Lumpsuckers is otherwise reduced or absent, it is well developed in the head; some species even have tubular, whisker-like external projections of the opercular canal, which is a part of the cranial lateral line system.
		Pacific cod and Sablefish are known predators of Lumpsuckers, the latter capable of inflating themselves with water, presumably as a defensive tactic.

	Strange fish: lumpsuckers
		Lumpsucker fish are well known for their possession of a powerful suction disk that is formed from the pelvic fins.
		The lumpsucker fish is known to hold on to any object it attaches itself to with great force requiring a good amount of strength to separate the two.
		Lumpsucker fish are from the Cyclopteridae family of lump fishes but are sometimes put into the distinct family Cyclopterinae since lump fishes differ considerably in appearance.

		Although this is perhaps the most common member of the lumpsucker family in the Arctic, little is known of its biology.
		The Atlantic spiny lumpsucker has a short, stout body that is thickest just before the dorsal fin and tapers significantly to the caudal peduncle.
		The Atlantic spiny lumpsucker occurs across the Canadian Arctic to Greenland, from Hudson Bay, south along the coast of Labrador to the Grand Banks, the Gulf of St. Lawrence and off Nova Scotia.

		Lumpsucker (Cyclopterus lumpus) otoliths: dissection, mounting and age-reading
		The precision of age estimates increased as a result of training and discussions in the group, but was hampered by the lack of verifications available at the time of reading.
		After the workshop, the resulting age-length relationship was compared to new estimates of length-composition of juvenile lumpsucker prior to and after the migration from the coast.

		As its name suggests, the lumpsucker is among the least graceful of fish and has even been described as grotesque.
		Lumpsuckers are usually classified as an incidental fishing catch.
		Males will attempt to stop creatures such as crabs and starfish devouring the eggs they guard, but their chief task is probably to aerate the clump by fanning it with their fins and pushing their head into it (look out for the hollows in the clump where this has happened).

		The objectives of the study are to reveal the effects of chemicals from antifouling paints on the development of the lumpsucker (Cyclopterus lumpus) - in situ and under laboratory conditions.
		Laboratory studies are based on the use of flowthrough conditions with different concentrations, while in the field studies we use cages with eggs and larvae.
		The eggs of the lumpsucker are allowed to glue to glass slides following fertilization.

		What John Angus had found turned out to be a lumpsucker fish, which, although unusual looking, is not uncommon in British waters.

		The juveniles have a prominent dorsal fin, that becomes covered with skin in the adult stage of life, while the lumps on the skin of the lumpsucker fish are in four diagonal rows along the sides and quite noticeable due to their size.

	Available MSc:Maternal effects in the lumpsucker. - CEES home
		It is increasingly being recognized that maternal traits, such as age and body size, are important determinants of offspring fitness and recruitment in marine fish populations.
		The lumpsucker (Cyclopterus lumpus, rognkjeks in Norwegian) is likely a very good model species for detailed studies on maternal effects in marine fish.
		The present project aims at describing maternal effects in the lumpsucker, by capturing parent fish from the wild and rearing their offspring in captivity.

		Pilot scale studies of lumpsucker culture have shown that the animal is potentially capable of being grown on a commercial scale using existing aquaculture resources currently utilised by the salmon farming industry.
		This three phase investigation will assess in detail the potential of the lumpsucker as a culture animal in comparison with existing farmed fish species.
		Markets for lumpsucker caviar already exist in the UK, but trials will be undertaken to attempt to re-establish smoked lumpsucker flesh as a food product.
