Default Monkfish

From: "Fisherman"

| The monkfish is a unique fish. It is also known as anglerfish, fishing
| frog, lawyerfish, bellyfish, and goosefish. The monk fish has
| apeculiar head that is covered with spiny protruberances and a pair of
| antennae that have lures of fake algae to lure fish to it for
| consumption. Monkfish lie on the ocean floor and wait for smaller
| fish to approach its special lure before it attacks. They grow to
| lengths of 1.5 m (5 ft) and weigh 20 kg (45 lbs). Harvested monkfish
| are usually smaller.Monkfish are live on the ocean bottom, typically
| on sand, mud, and shell habitats. They can tolerate a wide range of
| temperatures and depths from inshore up to at least 2,950 feet deep.
