Etymology: Gaidropsarus: Greek, ga, ge = the earth + Greek, ydro = water + Greek psaros = speckled, starling (Ref. 45335).
Issue
More taxonomic studies needed (Ref. 1371).

Epibenthic (Ref. 58426). Found offshore in deep water, always on soft bottoms of gravel, sand, mud, shells, and stones. Occurs in water temperatures close to or below 0°C. Feeds on decapod, amphipod, and euphausiid crustaceans, sometimes fishes are included in the diet (Ref. 9985).
