Cyclopteropsis jordani, also known as the smooth lumpfish (although that name may lead to confusion with Aptocyclus ventricosus), is a species of lumpfish native to the Arctic and Northwest Atlantic, where it is known from the Kara Sea in Russia and Admiralty inlet in Nunavut, Canada. It is a benthic species found at depths less than 68 m (223 ft) and reaches 6.1 cm (2.4 inches) in standard length. C. jordani feeds on small invertebrates, including mollusks, crustaceans, and marine worms.[1]
