Eumicrotremus terraenovae, also known as the Newfoundland spiny lumpsucker, [1] is a species of lumpfish native to the Northwest Atlantic. It is a demersal fish found off of Newfoundland and in the Gulf of Maine. [2]
The Cyclopteridae are a family of marine fishes, commonly known as lumpsuckers or lumpfish, in the order Scorpaeniformes. They are found in the cold waters of the Arctic, North Atlantic, and North Pacific oceans. The greatest number of species are found in the North Pacific. The family name Cyclopteridae derives from the Greek words κύκλος (kyklos), meaning "circle", and πτέρυξ (pteryx), meaning "wing" or "fin", in reference to the circle-shaped pectoral fins of most of the fish in this family.
Cyclopterus lumpus, the lumpsucker or lumpfish, is a species of marine ray-finned fish belonging to the family Cyclopteridae, the lumpsuckers or lumpfish. It is the only member of the monospecific genus Cyclopterus. It is found in the North Atlantic and adjacent parts of the Arctic Ocean, ranging as far south as Chesapeake Bay on the North American coast and Spain on the European coast. The species has been reported twice in the Mediterranean Sea, off Croatia in 2004 and Cyprus in 2017.
Cyclopteropsis is a genus of marine ray-finned fishes belonging to the family Cyclopteridae, the lumpfishes or lumpsuckers. These small lumpfishes are found in the North Pacific and Arctic Oceans.
Eumicrotremus is a genus of lumpfishes native to the northern oceans. The name for this genus comes from the Greek roots eu meaning "good", mikros meaning "small" or "little", and trema meaning "hole".
Lethotremus is a monospecific genus of marine ray-finned fish belonging to the family Cyclopteridae, the lumpfishes or lumpsuckers. This genus is found in the northern Pacific Ocean. Following a 2017 taxonomic review by Lee et al., the species Lethotremus awae was reclassified as a species of Eumicrotremus, leaving the genus monotypic with Lethotremus muticus as its only species.
Eumicrotremus barbatus, the papillose lumpsucker, is a species of marine ray-finned fish belonging to the family Cyclopteridae, the lumpfishes or lumpsuckers, found in the north Pacific Ocean. This species is characterized by the following unique apomorphies: teeth in the outer row at symphysis of premaxillae fuse with premaxillae, teeth at symphysis of dentary fuse among themselves and with dentary, forming the regular cutting edge; there are numerous barbs on the head and body; the bony plaques located in centers of connective tissue tubercles leaving the edges free. This species was originally classified in the monospecific genus Georgimarinus, but it is now regared as a species within Eumicrotremus.
Pelvic fins or ventral fins are paired fins located on the ventral surface of fish. The paired pelvic fins are homologous to the hindlimbs of tetrapods.
The Pacific spiny lumpsucker is a species of bony fish in the family Cyclopteridae.
Lycodes terraenovae, also called the Newfoundland eelpout, Atlantic eelpout or fish doctor, is a species of marine ray-finned fish belonging to the family Zoarcidae, the eelpouts. It is found in deep waters of the Atlantic Ocean.
The toad lumpsucker is a species of fish in the family Cyclopteridae that is found in the Bering Sea and Gulf of Alaska, where it occurs at depths of 69 to 170 metres. It is a demersal fish that reaches a maximum of 7.4 centimetres (2.9 in) in total length, making it a moderately sized member of Eumicrotremus.
Eumicrotremus andriashevi, also known as the pimpled lumpsucker, is a species of lumpfish native to the Arctic and North Pacific. In addition to the Arctic Ocean, it may be found in the Chukchi and Bering Seas, where it occurs at a depth range of 20 to 83 m. It is a small bottom-dwelling fish that reaches 4.8 cm in standard length.
Eumicrotremus asperrimus, also known as the Siberian lumpsucker, is a species of lumpfish native to the Northwest Pacific, where it can be found in the Bering Sea, the Sea of Japan, the Sea of Okhotsk, as well as off of Alaska and Hokkaido. It reaches 12 cm in total length and occurs at a depth range of 20 to 900 m. It is a round and compact fish adorned with many distinct tubercles.
Eumicrotremus spinosus, commonly known as the Atlantic spiny lumpsucker, is a species of lumpfish native to the Arctic and North Atlantic.
Eumicrotremus derjugini, also known as the leatherfin lumpsucker or petite poule de mer Arctique, is a species of lumpfish native to the Arctic, the North Atlantic, and the North Pacific. It is known from Labrador, Ungava Bay, Hudson Bay, the Canadian Arctic, Svalbard, the Barents Sea, Franz Josef Land, Greenland, the Kara Sea, the Laptev Sea, the East Siberian Sea, the Chukchi Sea, and the Sea of Okhotsk. It occurs at a depth range of 5 to 1038 m, and it reaches 10 cm SL. It is a benthic species often found on substrates of mud, gravel, or stone at temperatures below 0° C, feeding mainly on crustaceans and Oikopleura. The young of this species are reportedly seen in shallower water.
Eumicrotremus gyrinops, known as the Alaskan lumpsucker, is a species of lumpfish native to the Bering Sea and the Aleutian Islands. It is a small demersal fish that occurs at a depth range of 70 to 172 metres and reaches 5.2 centimetres (2.0 in) SL.
Eumicrotremus pacificus, sometimes known as the spotted lumpsucker or the balloon lumpfish, is a species of lumpfish native to the Northwest Pacific. It can be found in the Sea of Okhotsk, the Sea of Japan, the East China Sea, and the Pacific Ocean off Hokkaido and the Kuril Islands. It may be confused with the closely related Eumicrotremus orbis, which overlaps with E. pacificus in range, although E. pacificus is larger, reaching 20 cm (7.9 inches) TL. This fish is generally yellow to orange in color with small dark spots and its tubercles are usually smaller and less pronounced than E. orbis, giving it a less spiny appearance.
Proeumicrotrmus is a monospecific genus of marine ray-finned fish belonging to the family Cyclopteridae, the lumpfishes or lumpsuckers. The only species in the genus is Proeumicrotremus soldatovi, Soldatov's lumpsucker. This species is found in the Northwest Pacific. It is known from the Sea of Okhotsk, where it can be found at depths of 10 to 350 m. It reaches 26 cm (10 in) in total length, making it larger than average for a lumpfish. It was previously considered a species of Eumicrotremus until a morphology-based revision in 2020 concluded that it represents the only known species of a distinct genus.
Eumicrotremus tartaricus is a species of lumpfish native to the Northwest Pacific. It is known from the Sea of Japan, the Sea of Okhotsk, Peter the Great Bay, and the Pacific coast of the Kuril Islands, where it may be found at a depth range of 20 to 30 m. It has sometimes been considered a subspecies of the Pacific spiny lumpsucker, but it is generally agreed upon that E. tartaricus represents its own distinct species.
Eumicrotremus fedorovi is a species of marine ray-finned fish belonging to the family Cyclopteridae, the lumpfishes or lumpsuckers. This species is found in the northwestern Pacific Ocean around the Kuril Islands. It is a demersal fish that occurs at a depth range of 115 to 370 m. This species was first formally described in 1991 by Sergey Anatolyevich Mandritsa with its type locality given as the Rikord Strait. The specific name honours the Russian zoologist Vladimir Vladimirovich Fedorov who studied the holotype and suggested that it represented a new species.
