Could this be an arctic sculpin?

3 posts
  1. I was wondering if somebody can definitely identify this species. We encountered it while diving in North-East Greenland. Water temperature was about a few degrees C. It was in relatively shallow water (about 6 meters) lying on the bottom.

    All suggestions are welcome.

    Our diveguide had the feeling it was an arctic sculpin.

  2. This is in norwegian, an 'ulke'.

    Can provide real name tomorrow :)

    Very common here.

    I have the feeling that means it is a sculpin. I tried to google "ulke" and got several fish amongst which some sculpins. But if you can give me the "real name" that would be very much appreciated.
