- Abstract
The article discusses the characteristics of a lumpsucker Cyclopterus lumpus Linnaeus. It is a pelagic and solitary species distributed on both North Atlantic Ocean coasts. The spawning behaviour and curious parental care of this species is well-known. Lumpfish migrate from the open ocean toward shallow coastal waters during the spawning season. Females lay eggs that adhere to rocks in the seaweed beds. The presence of this species in Galician latitudes is actually occasional, but regular, mainly in the first half of the year.
