Sturgeon Poacher, Podothecus acipenserinus - English
URL: http://www.arctic.uoguelph.ca/cpl/organisms/fish/marine/poacher/stur_poacher.htm

Bright yellow, fleshy protuberances surround the mouth of the sturgeon poacher. Called cirri, these elaborate "whiskers" are sensory organs, and occur in clusters. The sturgeon poacher is further embellished with splashes of colour – an orange spot is located below each eye, the caudal fin is tinged yellow, and its belly is orangey yellow.
