The Pacific sculpin is a species of fish found along the Pacific coast of North America, primarily in shallow waters. They are characterized by their flattened bodies, large heads, and spiny fins. These fish typically inhabit rocky or sandy substrates and can be found at depths ranging from the intertidal zone to about 300 feet. Pacific sculpins are known for their ability to camouflage with their surroundings, which helps them avoid predators. They primarily feed on small invertebrates and fish. This species plays a role in the marine ecosystem, contributing to the food web in its habitat.
