The burbot (Lota lota), also known as bubbot, [2] mariah, [3] loche, cusk, [4] freshwater cod, [5] freshwater ling, freshwater cusk, the lawyer, coney-fish, lingcod, [6] or eelpout, is a species of coldwater ray-finned fish native to the subarctic regions of the Northern hemisphere.
The metabolic responses of Antarctic and temperate eelpout species during exercise and subsequent recovery at 0 °C [18] is a point of emphasis when understanding this species. Contrary to the hypothesis of reduced glycolytic capacity in Antarctic fish as an adaptation to low temperatures, findings revealed similar increases in white muscle ...
The International Eelpout Festival is an annual gathering held in the town of Walker, Minnesota. It celebrates the eelpout (or burbot, scientific name Lota lota ), an indigenous bottom dwelling fish that inhabits the region's lakes, in some cases being found as deep as 300m.
Lycodes terraenovae, also called the Newfoundland eelpout, Atlantic eelpout or fish doctor, [3] is a species of marine ray-finned fish belonging to the family Zoarcidae, the eelpouts. [ 4 ] [ 5 ] It is found in deep waters of the Atlantic Ocean.
The viviparous eelpout feeds on bottom-dwelling invertebrates, such as crustaceans, and fish eggs and fry. [6] Adults mate during the months of August and September using internal fertilisation. The fish are notably viviparous, giving birth to 30–400 live developed young. Unusually, it does so during winter when water temperatures are ...
The snubnose eelpout has a moderately elongated body which has a depth at the origin of the anal fin equivalent to between 5.7% and 12.7% of its standard length. The mouth is terminal and there are no pelvic fins but the pectoral fins are long, wide and rounded and have between 16 and 19 fin rays. The body before the anus is around two fifths ...
Lycodes esmarkii was first formally described by the Norwegian zoologist Robert Collett with the type locality given as Varanger Fjord in northern Norway. [3] The specific name honours Collett's fellow Norwegian zoologist Lauritz Martin Esmark, who was the first to recognise that this taxon was a new species but who pernmitted Collett to describe it as such.
The twoline eelpout has been found to have two lateral lines, the only one of its family, and also has a small blunt-ended gill raker. [2] Its dorsal and anal fins are covered in a gelatinous tissue. [1] Twoline eelpouts are bathydemersal (below 650 feet), [1] and can generally be found at a depth between 2,000 feet (610 m) and 6,000 feet ...
