The marvelous muskie, mystery fish for day 4 puzzle and crossover theme. The name muskellunge comes from the Ojibwa for “ugly pike” . The also descriptive French common name is masquinongé or “elongated mask”.

The eyes aren't their only weird feature. Though the body is at most 28cm, the length is tripled by a pair of long, soft tail rays. The mouth is hinged so that the interior opens rapidly to suck up copepods, giving this fish a permanent puckered-up expression😘

Redhorses are often studied as a group because the different species are *really* tough to tell apart, even for biologists. ID-ing them usually involves *lots* of counting of lateral scales + fin rays - the glamorous life of a fisheries biologist 📷:

Thanks again to and the whole crew for another great year of guessing and sketching fish! All of this year's mystery species were (unintentionally) very colorful - the bluegill, white sucker, and yellow perch!

Despite their name, it’s really the breeding males who have that intense bright green coloration - females, juveniles, and non-breeding males are more olive-yellowish in color + have 4-10 "v" or "w"-shaped marks along their sides

Despite their somewhat ghoulish appearance, I think there's something charming about fangtooths - when filmed in situ, they adopt a very cute, slightly curled-up pose. Also, the juveniles have massive silly spines extending from behind their head!

For Day 5 we've got honestly one of the coolest fish from my entire MSci - Anoplogaster cornuta, the fangtooth! There's truly no other fish like this - with that dark skin, pronounced sensory lateral line, and giant teeth this is a consummate midwater predator!
