Clinocottus globiceps, the mosshead sculpin or globe-headed sculpin, is a species of marine ray-finned fish belonging to the family Cottidae, the typical sculpins. This sculpin is found in the the northeastern Pacific.
Taxonomy
Clinocottus globiceps was first formally described as Oligocottus globiceps in 1858 by the French ichthyologist Charles Frédéric Girard with its type locality given as Southern Farallones Island, off San Francisco in California.[3] This species is classified within the subgenus Blennicottus, of which it is the type species, which was proposed by Theodore Gill in 1861[4] and is the clade of round headed species within the genus Clinocottus, these species seemingly not being the closest relatives of the two sharp snouted species.[5] The specific name, globiceps, means “spherical head”, an allusion its rounded head profile.[6]
C. globiceps is a resident (non-migratory) intertidal species which exhibits homing behavior. It generally inhabits tidal pools and shallow rocky areas, often in strong surf. C. globiceps can leave a tide pool if conditions become inhospitable, since it can also breathe air. It sometimes rests on rocks out of water, but usually under rocks or among seaweed. C. globiceps is most commonly found in the eastern Pacific from Kodiak Island (Alaska) to Gaviota (southern California). This fish prefers a temperate climate from latitude 60°N. to 32°N. and is usually in a marine, demersal environment.[2]
