Then Yarrell's blennies and butterfish revealed themselves, along with long-spined scorpionfish in considerable numbers. |
It was not until the autofocus hit the mark that I noted the jaws of the scorpionfish trapping the poor butterfish. |
From plain old cod, which is not true at all, to Sablefish, butterfish and skilfish, this species has a number of names. |
Ballan wrasse, dragonets, scorpionfish, butterfish and topknots all occur frequently. |
Here butterfish can be seen feeding on mussels, and cowries are also in evidence. |
There are several other species to look out for, including the less-common Yarrels blenny, the black-faced blenny, the shanny and the butterfish. |
