A general term for marine fish belonging to the family Scorpaeniformes and family Pandalidae, or one of these species. The Japanese name comes from the fact that the body is round. The English name means "fish with a lump." They are found in cold waters of the Northern Hemisphere, such as the Sea of Japan, the North Pacific Ocean, the Sea of Okhotsk, the Bering Sea, and the North Atlantic Ocean, and about 25 species are known. About 20 species are found in the waters adjacent to Japan, and 9 species have been reported from the waters near Japan. The body is spherical, usually covered with bony protuberances, and the thorax has suckers that are modified from the pelvic fins. With the exception of the water fish, most are small, less than 10 cm in length. Source: Heibonsha World Encyclopedia, 2nd Edition Information |
