	Sculpin
		Sculpin stood by while Falcon (ASR-2) rescued the survivors, and rendered further assistance by familiarizing the divers with the configuration of her sister ship.
		Sculpin aided in the salvage of the sunken vessel by sounding out the approaches to Portsmouth Harbor and preparing supplementary charts of the area where Squalus was refloated.
		Sculpin, like many of her sister submarines in the early days of the Pacific war, was plagued by malfunctions of torpedo guidance systems which caused the "fish" either to take erratic courses or to run deep.

	Longhorn sculpin
		The first dorsal fin is higher than the second (in the shorthorn sculpin these two fins are of about equal heights), of rather different shape from that of the shorthorn (compare fig.
		The lateral line of the longhorn sculpin is marked by a series of smooth cartilaginous plates instead of by prickly scales as it is in the shorthorn, a difference obvious to the touch; its body is more slender (about five and one-half times as long as it is deep); and its head is flatter.
		On mud and sand bottom this sculpin is often nearly plain colored, but when it is lying on pebbles with white corallines its back is often nearly white with dark-gray blotches, rendering it almost invisible.

		The sculpin’s body is scaleless, except for some scattered areas that have small, sharp scales called “prickles.” The tail is straight or rounded.

		Mottled Sculpins are found in greatest abundance in riffle areas of fast-flowing streams with clear water and rocky (gravel or rubble) substrate (Bailey 1952, Brown 1971, Wydoski and Whitney 1979), less often along rocky shorelines of lakes (Holton and Johnson (1996).

		The riffle sculpin is a freshwater cottid found in the Sacramento-San Joaquin river system and coastal streams of California from Morro Bay to the Noyo River (Moyle 1976).
		In this study, ripe riffle sculpin were observed in May, suggesting that spawning may well extend longer than it does in Oregon and Washington waters (Bond 1963; Millikan 1968).
		Maturity in riffle sculpin is reached at the end of the second year (Millikan 1968).

	Mottled Sculpin
		Has often been called a "trout indicator" and usually where there are sculpin populations, the water holds trout as well.

	Slimy Sculpin
		Sculpins have long been accused of trout egg and fry predation and even for direct competition for benthic invertebrates.
		It has even been speculated that sculpin predation on predaceous stoneflies may increase the numbers of drifting herbivorous insects for trout and reduce stonefly predation on trout eggs and young.
		Spawns in late April and May. A nest cavity is cleaned by the male; eggs are deposited by the female in clusters on the undersides of stones.
