Longhorn Sculpin

Myoxocephalus octodecimspinosus

Sculpin

Size: to 18"

Habitat: Generally inshore in harbors and inlets, in 30-40 foot depths, but moves out to deep waters in winter.

Notes:

Sculpins have sharp spines around the head area - best to leave them alone. Sculpins are capable of loud vocalizations. Grubby is similar but smaller with a more rounded tail.
