Default Monkfish

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.
