Lumpfish (Cyclopterus lumpus)

Lumpfish are thick and somewhat ball-shaped. Females reach about 40cm long and males are usually a bit smaller than that. They are found all around the waters of Iceland but in highest concentrations in the colder waters in the north and east of the country. Lumpfish spend most of their time in the open ocean, however, and usually only come to shallower waters to spawn. Their spawning behavior is quite distinct – males arrive at breeding grounds early to make a nest in kelp beds and to wait for a female. Spawning takes place, the females leave and the males will attend to, and aggressively defend, the eggs until they hatch.
