Myoxocephalus is a genus of fish in the sculpin family Cottidae.[1] Most species live in marine waters, but there are also three freshwater species,[2] including two that occupy northern lakes (Myoxocephalus quadricornis and M. thompsonii). The name is derived from Greek myos (muscle) and kephale (head).[3]
