Gurnards [Chelidonichthys]

Description

Chelidonichthys, often referred to as gurnards, are a genus of sea robins that possess a striking appearance with large, wing-like pectoral fins and vibrant colors. These bottom-dwelling fish are found in both shallow and deep waters, where they hunt for crustaceans and small fish. Their ability to 'walk' along the sea floor with their pectoral fin rays and the distinctive croaking sounds they produce are notable characteristics.
