Pacific Spiny Lumpsucker armor—Development, damage, and defense in the intertidal

Journal of Morphology, 2022
Abstract Predation, combat, and the slings and arrows of an abrasive and high impact environment, represent just some of the biotic and abiotic stressors that fishes are armored against. The Pacific Spiny Lumpsucker ( Eumicrotremus orbis ) found in the subtidal of the ...

Observations on skin colour changes in juvenile lumpsuckers

Journal of Fish Biology, 1995
This study reports on an experimental investigation of colour change in young lumpsuckers Cyclopterus lumpus, employing Munsell colour charts to quantify skin hue, colour value and chroma. Juvenile lumpsuckers can live pelagically close to the sea surface, or can attach to floating seaweed and debris with their suckers.

Buoyancy in the LumpsuckerCyclopterus Lumpus

Journal of the Marine Biological Association of the United Kingdom, 1986
The lumpsucker or lumpfish,Cyclopterus lumpusL. (Cyclopteridae, Scorpaeniformes), is a cottoid teleost, and, like other fish in its family, exhibits many characteristics of a coastal, bottom-dwelling fish. It is globiform, has no swimbladder, possesses a large abdominal sucker (formed from the pelvic fins), and lays demersal eggs which are brooded by ...

Relationships and Evolution of Lumpsuckers of the Family Cyclopteridae (Cottoidei)

Journal of Ichthyology, 2020
Phylogenetic morphological, and molecular analysis of lumpsuckers of the family Cyclopteridae is carried out. The cladograms reveal the validity of three subfamilies within the family Cyclopteridae: Cyclopterinae, Aptocyclinae, and Eumicrotrematominae.

Morphological Variability of the Spotted Lumpsucker Eumicrotremus pacificus (Cottoidei, Cyclopteridae)

Journal of Ichthyology, 2019
The variability of morphometric characteristics, the structure of the seismosensory system and the external skeleton in females and nonspawning and spawning males of the spotted lumpsucker Eumicrotremus pacificus were studied. Females differed from males in their greater anteanal distance and stability of the structure of the external skeleton ...

Sticky, stickier and stickiest – a comparison of adhesive performance in clingfish, lumpsuckers and snailfish

Journal of Experimental Biology, 2022
ABSTRACTThe coastal waters of the North Pacific are home to the northern clingfish (Gobiesox maeandricus), Pacific spiny lumpsucker (Eumicrotremus orbis) and marbled snailfish (Liparis dennyi) – three fishes that have evolved ventral adhesive discs. Clingfish adhesive performance has been studied extensively, but relatively little is known about the ...

Genetic population structure and demographic history of a pelagic lumpsucker, Aptocyclus ventricosus

Environmental Biology of Fishes, 2020
The population structure and demographic history of a pelagic lumpsucker, Aptocyclus ventricosus, were investigated on the basis of sequence variation in the mitochondrial cytochrome b gene (1038 bp). The haplotype network clearly recovered two haplotype groups, consisting of western and eastern North Pacific individuals, except for some specimens ...

C-reactive protein-like precipitins in lumpsucker (Cyclopterus lumpus L.) gametes

Experientia, 1976
A precipitin to pneumococcal and fungal C-substance, found in both ova and spermatozoa from a marine teleost fish, has similarities to mammalian C-reactive protein (CRP). This is the first demonstration of a CRP-like protein in the gametes of any species and adds further interest to the as yet unknown physiological role of CRP in vertebrates.

Sucker action in the lumpsucker cyclopterusLumpusL.

Sarsia, 1990
Attachment in the lumpsucker is initiated by the contraction of a horizontal pair of red muscles (I) running between the sucker skeleton and the hyoid arch.

First estimates of age and production of lumpsucker (Cyclopterus lumpus) in Greenland

Fisheries Research, 2014
Abstract Lumpsucker (Cyclopterus lumpus) spawn throughout the North Atlantic, and are fished prior to spawning for its valuable roe. This is also the case along most of the Greenland coast, and lumpsucker is of great economic importance throughout the country.
