Is the balloon lumpfish an endangered species of fish at the present time?
Lumpsuckers or Lumpfish are mostly small scorpaeniform marine fish of the family Cyclopteridae. They are found in the cold waters of the Artic, North Atlantic, and North Pacific oceans. The greatest number of species are found in the North Pacific. The roe of Cyclopterus lumpus, known as the stenbider (literally “stone biter”) in Danish, is used extensively in Danish cuisine. The roe is also used as a delicious and affordable alternative to the sometimes wildly expensive caviar from sturgeons. The family name Cyclopteridae derives from the Greek words kyklos meaning “circle” and pteryx meaning “fin”. Lumpsuckers
