Description
Summary:Since the development of mid‐water trawls in the mid‐1960s, the lumpsucker, Cyclopterus lumpus , has been found to occur frequently in mid‐water. Records from cruises of English research vessels show that lumpsuckers occur pelagically from the southern North Sea to about 80°N off Spitsbergen, usually in the upper 50–60 m, and often over abyssal depths of the Norwegian Sea and the north‐east Atlantic.
