单词	prickleback
释义	prickleback /ˈprɪk(ə)lbak / noun A long, slender fish with a spiny dorsal fin running the length of the body. It lives in cooler seas of the northern hemisphere, typically in shallow inshore waters. Family Stichaeidae: many genera and species. Two such methods include coiling the body around the eggs (pricklebacks and gunnels) and covering the eggs with algae (temperate sculpins and wrasses).... Pricklebacks are slithery, elusive and ugly as sin, but their taste is little short of divine. We fished for the pricklebacks (Cebidichthys violaceous) with poke poles -- long old-fashioned bamboo poles or modern plastic telescoping poles -- with short wire leaders and hooks baited with squid.
