Pacific Sculpin
The Pacific Sculpin is a type of fish found primarily in the northern Pacific Ocean, particularly along the coasts of North America and Asia. It typically inhabits rocky substrates and can be found at depths ranging from shallow waters to about 300 meters. This species is known for its distinctive body shape, which is somewhat flattened and has large pectoral fins.
Pacific Sculpins are opportunistic feeders, primarily consuming small invertebrates and fish. They are characterized by their mottled coloration, which helps them blend into their surroundings, providing camouflage from predators. These fish play a role in the marine ecosystem as both predators and prey.
