Description
Physical Description
Species Cottus cognatus
Body: Mouth
and snout: Terminal
and very wide, with bands
of fine
teeth in bands on upper and lower jaws
. No barbels
. Snout rounded
to blunt
and dorsal-ventrally flattened. Body patterning, color,
and scales
: Mottled
with irregular blotches, dark brown or black
on a brown background with a cream or whitish belly. No scales, but
a few fine prickles anteriorly just below the lateral line. Fins
with brownish speckles, spots, and/or blotches. Body shape
and size:
Body dorsal-ventrally flattened, especially anteriorly. Typically
35-90 mm (1.5-3.5 in) TL
; maximum about 111 mm (4.5 in).
Fins: Tail, dorsal and other fins: Rounded
or square
tail. Two dorsal
fins, slightly connected, the anterior with 6-10 flexible
spines
and the posterior with 14-19 rays. Pelvic fins thoracic
, each with
1 spine and 3 rays. No adipose fin
. Anal fin with 10-14 rays and
no spines.
Distinguishing characteristics: The slimy sculpin can be distinguished
by its pair of free
and independent
pelvic fins and its lack of scales.

Breeding adults
: Male may become very dark, with an orange edge
to
the first dorsal fin.
Juveniles
: Similar to adults.
Size/Age/Growth
Males are commonly 8 cm (Total Length) in length when caught/marketed, but may be as large as 12 cm (Total Length).
Habitat
Inhabits rocky riffles of cold streams , rocky areas of lakes (commonly at 90-106 m depth), springs and their effluents [1]. Moves into shallow water to spawn [2]. In some areas, they are common in brackish water[3], presumably moving to and from fresh water , at least for spawning[2]. May be found at depths of 6 to 128 meters.
Biome: Marine .
Biology
Diet
Feeds mostly on aquatic insect larvae and nymphs but also on crustaceans, small fishes , and plant materials [4].
