Eumicrotremus gyrinops is a small marine fish with a round body and a sucker on the belly. It lives in cold northern seas and attaches to the bottom using a special disk.
Eumicrotremus gyrinops differs from closely related species by the large number of spines on the body and the shape of the sucker. This fish is important for the nature of the northern seas because it eats small invertebrates and itself serves as food for larger fish, birds and seals.
Immature form that undergoes metamorphosis before adulthood.
