lumpfish
Warty cold-water fish
A lumpfish is a stout, rounded fish of cold North Atlantic and Arctic waters, named for its lumpy appearance created by rows of bony tubercles along its body.
It has a distinctive sucker disk on its underside, formed from modified pelvic fins, which it uses to cling to rocks and other surfaces.
Lumpfish are harvested commercially, primarily for their roe, which is processed as an inexpensive caviar substitute.
