To all the moms who are balancing things right now, female African cichlids can relate - many cichlid species are maternal mouthbrooders, meaning moms carry their eggs and/or young in their mouths. During this time (sometimes up to a month!), she doesn't eat #SundayFishSketch

For the @AlaskaSeaLife-themed #SundayFishSketch, the grunt sculpin. Grunt sculpins camouflage themselves by sitting in empty barnacle shells and facing outward - in this position, the shape of its head makes it look like a barnacle!

When a male anglerfish finds a female in the darkness of the deep sea, he bites into her skin, essentially fusing his body to hers. He becomes dependent on the female host and provides her sperm with in return.

@DrFishSG @SolomonRDavid @ReelAngle @donaldorth @ericrsails @moxostoma @WildlifeBioGal @UWiscSeaGrant The shorthead redhorse is part of a group of suckers called redhorses (Moxostoma), which are often studied as a group because they can be notoriously difficult to tell apart - even us biologists sometimes have trouble! #25DaysofFishmas

@DrFishSG @SolomonRDavid @donaldorth @ReelAngle @ericrsails @WildlifeBioGal @UWiscSeaGrant The “big three” catfish species in North America are the flathead, channel, and blue catfish. Flathead catfish have a tail that’s less forked than the other two, and they also have a lower jaw that projects out (an “underbite”) #25DaysofFishmas

@DrFishSG @donaldorth @SolomonRDavid @ericrsails @ReelAngle @WildlifeBioGal @FisheriesBlog Who knew a small fish could make such as splash? Moral of today's #GreatLakes #25DaysofFishmas: the mimic shiner can be difficult to understand (even among fish biologists), but loving them is not!

@SolomonRDavid @DrFishSG @ericrsails @donaldorth @WildlifeBioGal @ReelAngle @UWiscSeaGrant Fun fact: my avatar from @Blackmudpuppy even features a freshwater drum! #25DaysofFishmas

Big day: my @SkypeScientist Live session is this afternoon at 1 PM Eastern! While I'll be mostly talking freshwater #fishsci + #GreatLakesSci, I'm also happy to talk about doing a @SeaGrant science policy fellowship in D.C.! Still time to submit ?s here: https://t.co/bI0VOcGHKX

In honor of one of my favorite scientific tautonyms (where the generic + specific names are the same), the wonderfully grumpy Lota lota, or burbot #SundayFishSketch @GrumpyBurbot
