ECHINODEAMA .
SEA-
WOLF
 , also SEA-CAT and
WOLF
 -FISH (Anarrhichas lupus), a marine fish, the largest of the family Blenniidae or blennies. In spite of its large size, it has retained the bodily form and general external characteristics of the small blennies. Its
body
  is
long
 , subcylindrical in front, compressed in the caudal portion, smooth and slippery, the rudimentary scales being embedded and almost hidden in the skin. An even dorsal fin extends the whole length of the back, and a similar fin from the vent to the caudal fin, as in blennies. The pectorals are large and rounded, the pelvic fins entirely absent. Its dentition distinguishes the sea-wolf from all the other members of the family. Both jaws are armed in front with strong conical teeth, and on the sides with two
series
  of large tubercular molars, a biserial band of similar molars occupying the middle of the
palate
 . By these teeth the sea-wolf is able to crush the hard carapaces or shells of the crustaceans and molluscs on which it feeds; that it uses
Sea-wolf. occur in the corresponding latitudes of the North Pacific. They attain to a length exceeding 6 ft., and in the north are esteemed as food, both fresh and preserved. The oil extracted from the
liver
  is said to be in quality equal to the best cod-
liver
  oil.
To the fishermen of the North Sea this fish is generally known as the cat-fish, and for some years past numbers of this species have been marketed. As it would be impossible to sell the fish in its natural state on
account
  of its forbidding
appearance
 , it is skinned and beheaded, and the flesh retailed under the name of
rock
 -salmon.
