bulkiness: cf. G. & D. lump, F. lompe.] (Zo["o]l.)
A large, thick, clumsy, marine fish ({Cyclopterus lumpus}) of
Europe and America. The color is usually translucent sea
green, sometimes purplish. It has a dorsal row of spiny
tubercles, and three rows on each side, but has no scales.
The ventral fins unite and form a ventral sucker for adhesion
to stones and seaweeds. Called also {lumpsucker},
