These structural anomalies may also be implicated in the in vitro formation of Hb polymers in the temperate marine goosefish,
Lophius americanus, order Lophiiformes, family Lophidae (Borgese et al, 1988, 1992), and the red gurnard, Chelodonichthys kumu, order Scorpaeniformes, family Trigilidae (Fago et al, 1993).
Goosefish
Lophius americanus (Valenciennes) in particular were relatively passive and mostly inverted.

Food and ontogenetic shifts in feeding of the goosefish,

Monkfish, or
lophius americanus, are marine bottom-dwelling fishes known for their large ugly heads which are usually discarded.
New fisheries have been created that target former "trash" species, like spiny dogfish (Squalus acanthius) and monkfish (
Lophius americanus).
In addition to pelagic pair trawl fishing, three vessels fished with bottom trawls during the day for anglerfish,
Lophius americanus; squids; silver hake, Merluccius bilinearis; and scup, Stenotomus chrysops.
Most of these species inhabit the northwestern Atlantic, as do Goosefish (
Lophius americanus) and Blackfin Goosefish (L.
Lophius americanus Cuvier & Valenciennes 1837 (1), the goosefish, anglerfish, or monkfish, is common in coastal waters of the northeastern United States.
Abstract--This study was designed to improve our understanding of transitions in the early life history and the distribution, habitat use, and diets for young-of-the-year (YOY) goosefish (
Lophius americanus) and, as a result, their role in northeastern U.S.
