Check out my recent #JFB Editor's Choice: Lump by name, but not by nature: 1000km migration of lumpfish (Cyclopterus lumpus) https://doi.org/10.1111/jfb.16074

Highlights work by Kennedy et al which shows #lumpfish are capable of frequent long distance #migration between #pelagic summer feeding areas and costal #spawning sites, with migrations up to 1,612 km recorded. It just goes to show that you can't judge a book by its cover!

Young lumpfish

Grown to help clean parasites of salmon in pens

Adaptations for the intertidal, like suction cups on their bellies

Very interesting evolutionary adaption
