   two very small barbels, and a larger one on the chin.

   Note: The fish is also called an {eelpout} or {ling}, and is
         allied to the codfish. The {Lota vulgaris} is a common
         European species. An American species ({Lota maculosa})
         is found in New England, the Great Lakes, and farther
         north.
