Cyclopterus lumpus, commonly known as the lumpfish, is a species of marine fish in the family Cyclopteridae (lumpfishes). It is found in the cold waters of the North Atlantic Ocean. Lumpfish are known for their body structure, which is large, round, and covered in bumpy tubercles instead of smooth scales. They have a small, round, sucker-like pelvic fin used to adhere to rocks and other substrates. Male lumpfish are characterized by their vibrant blue and purple coloration during the breeding season, while females usually have a duller, greenish-brown color.
