They live in rivers, submarine canyons, kelp forests, and shallow littoral habitat types, such as tidepools.[1] Sculpins are benthic fish, dwelling on the bottoms of water bodies. Their pectoral fins are smooth on the upper edge and webbed with sharp rays along the lower edge, a modification that makes them specialized for gripping the substrate. This adaptation helps the fish anchor in fast-flowing water.[1] FamiliesFamilies include:[3]
