Habitat and Life History
"The Deepwater Sculpin is a bottom-dwelling fish that is found in cold (< 5 °C), well oxygenated, deep lakes. In the Great Lakes, adults usually live between 60 and 150 m in depth. For this reason, not much is known about the biology of this fish. The reproductive cycle is not well understood and the time of spawning is not known. Age of maturity has been estimated at three years for females and two for males. It appears that individuals from the Great Lakes, especially Lake Ontario, are generally larger compared to other populations. The Deepwater Sculpin is also likely preyed upon by deepwater Lake Trout (Salvelinus namaycush)."

Famous quotes containing the words habitat, life and/or history:
“Nature is the mother and the habitat of man, even if sometimes a stepmother and an unfriendly home.”
—John Dewey (1859–1952)
“I don’t like your miserable lonely single “front name.” It is so limited, so meagre; it has no versatility; it is weighted down with the sense of responsibility; it is worn threadbare with much use; it is as bad as having only one jacket and one hat; it is like having only one relation, one blood relation, in the world. Never set a child afloat on the flat sea of life with only one sail to catch the wind.”
—D.H. (David Herbert)
“When we of the so-called better classes are scared as men were never scared in history at material ugliness and hardship; when we put off marriage until our house can be artistic, and quake at the thought of having a child without a bank-account and doomed to manual labor, it is time for thinking men to protest against so unmanly and irreligious a state of opinion.”
—William James (1842–1910)
