Cottocomephoridae
The Cottidae are a family of fish in the superfamily Cottoidea, the sculpins. It is the largest sculpin family, with about 275 species in 70 genera.Kane, E. A. and T. E. Higham. (2012)Life in the flow lane: differences in pectoral fin morphology suggest transitions in station-holding demand across species of marine sculpin.''Zoology'' (Jena) 115(4), 223-32. They are referred to simply as cottids to avoid confusion with sculpins of other families. Cottids are distributed worldwide, especially in boreal and colder temperate climates. The center of diversity is the northern Pacific Ocean. Species occupy many types of aquatic habitats, including marine and fresh waters, and deep and shallow zones. A large number occur in near-shore marine habitat types, such as kelp forests and shallow reefs. They can be found in estuaries and in bodies of fresh water. Most cottids are small fish, under in length. The species ''Scorpaenichthys marmoratus'' can be up to in length.Froese, R. and ...

Cottus Cognatus
The slimy sculpin (''Cottus cognatus'') is a freshwater species of fish belonging to the family Cottidae, which is the largest sculpin family. They usually inhabit cold rocky streams or lakes across North America, ranging from the Great Lakes, southeast Minnesota, northeast Iowa, southwest Wisconsin and northeast Canada. Slimy sculpins have also been found roaming the cold streams of eastern Siberia. They are commonly confused with their closely related relatives, Mottled sculpin (''Cottus bairdi''), and with tubenose gobies who are both freshwater fishes as well. The slimy sculpin is a nocturnal fish that usually spends most of its time on the stream bottom and seeks shelter under rocks and logs, especially during spawning season. When it swims, it sometimes appears to be "hopping" along the bottom because of its inefficient ability to swim. This is partly due to the absence of a swim bladder, which normally gives buoyancy to a fish. The fish has been studied in waters where ...

Antipodocottus
''Antipodocottus'' is a genus of marine ray-finned fishes belonging to the family Cottidae, the typical sculpins. These fishes are found in the western Pacific Ocean. This is the only genus of Cottids represented in the Southern Hemisphere, although their classification in the Cottidae is not universally accepted. Taxonomy ''Antipodocottus'' was first proposed as a monospecific genus in 1952 by the American ichthyologist Rolf Ling Bolin when he described ''Antipodocottus galathea'' from the Tasman Sea off New Zealand. The 5th edition of ''Fishes of the World'' classifies the genus ''Alcichthys'' within the subfamily Cottinae of the family Cottidae, however, other authors classify the genus within the subfamily Psychrolutinae of the family Psychrolutidae. Species There are currently four recognized species in this genus: * ''Antipodocottus elegans'' R. Fricke & Brunken ( de), 1984 (Dwarf sculpin) * ''Antipodocottus galatheae'' Bolin, 1952 (Galathea sculpin) * ''Antipodocott ...

Chitonotus Pugetensis
The Roughback sculpin (''Chitonotus pugetensis'') is a species of marine ray-finned fish belonging to the family Cottidae, the typical sculpins. This species is found in the eastern Pacific Ocean. The roughback sculpin is is the only known member of the genus ''Chitonotus''. Taxonomy The roughback sculpin was first formally described as ''Artedius pugetensis'' in 1876 by the Austrian ichthyologist Franz Steindachner with its type locality given as Fox Island near near Steilacom, northern Puget Sound and San Francisco. In 1879 the English zoologist, and curator of the California Academy of Sciences, William Neale Lockington proposed the monospecific genus ''Chitonotus'' for the roughback sculpin. The 5th edition of ''Fishes of the World'' classifies the genus ''Alcichthys'' within the subfamily Cottinae of the family Cottidae, however, other authors classify the genus within the subfamily Icelinae of the family Psychrolutidae.

Bolinia Euryptera
''Bolinia'' is a monospecific genus of marine ray-finned fish belonging to the family Cottidae, the typical sculpins.

The only species in the genus is ''Bolinia euryptera''. Taxonomy ''Bolinia'' was first proposed as a monospecific genus in 1991 by Mamoru Yabe when he described ''Bolinia euryptera'' from near Amukta Pass in the Aleutian Islands. The 5th edition of ''Fishes of the World'' classifies the genus ''Alcichthys'' within the subfamily Cottinae of the family Cottidae, however, other authors classify the genus within the subfamily Psychrolutinae of the family Psychrolutidae The fish family Psychrolutidae (commonly known as blobfishes, toadfishes, flathead sculpins, tadpole sculpins,) contains over 35 recognized species in 8 genera.

Ascelichthys Rhodorus
The rosylip sculpin (''Ascelichthys rhodorus'') is a species of marine ray-finned fish belonging to the family Cottidae, the typical sculpins.

Artedius
''Artedius'' is a genus of marine ray-finned fishes belonging to the family Cottidae, the typical sculpins. These fishes are found in the northern Pacific Ocean. Taxonomy ''Artedius'' was first proposed as a genus in 1854 by the French zoologist Charles Frédéric Girard with ''Scorpaenichthys lateralis'', described by Girard from California in 1854, designated as its type species by Jordan and Evermann in 1896. The 5th edition of Fishes of the World classifies this genus in the subfamily Cottinae of the family Cottidae but other authorities classify it in the subfamily Oligocottinae of the family Psychrolutidae. Etymology ''Artedius'' suffixes it’s, meaning “belonging to” onto Artedi, Girard did not explain who this was honouring but it is almost certain that it is Peter Artedi, the “father of ichthyology”. Species There are currently five recognized species in this genus: * ''Artedius corallinus'' ( C. L. Hubbs, 1926) (coralline sculpin) * ''Artedius fenestralis'' ...
