Arctic lumpsucker - Cyclopteropsis macalpini - English
URL: http://www.arctic.uoguelph.ca/cpl/organisms/fish/marine/lumpfish/arc_sucker.htm

The Arctic lumpsucker has been found in Ulrisk Bay in northwest Greenland, and the Barents Sea, but probably also enters Canadian Arctic waters. It is differentiated from other lumpsuckers by its pectoral fin, which is attached below the gill opening, by its anterior body, which is compressed, and by its first, rectangular dorsal fin. There is no row of postorbital tubercles present, nor are there any supplemental pores above the lateral line.

The smooth lumpfish is a mysterious species of which very little is known. Only a few specimens have ever been caught and so nothing is known of its biology.
