Clinocottus globiceps, commonly known as the mosshead sculpin or globe-headed sculpin, is a species of fish in the family Cottidae, native to the northeastern Pacific.
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 tidal pools 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.[1]
