The Winged Sea Robins A Curious Sea-Bottom Forager
The sea robin or gurnard is noted for a large head and three fingerlike pectoral processes that sweep sand and weeds to uncover prey. It feeds on small crabs fish and shrimps and is prized as delicate eating though capable of painful wounds from its erect spines. The American sea robin runs fifteen to eighteen inches and two pounds, grunts loudly when removed from water and hops on shore. The butterfly name comes from its elongated pectoral fins and the tail rays resemble a Japanese fan with brownish yellow back and cream belly plus turquoise blue lower jaw.
