Burbot
Lota lota
Adult burbot inhabit cold freshwater lakes and rivers, resting on the bottom by day and hunting at night. They eat fish, crayfish, aquatic insects, and other bottom-dwelling animals with a broad, toothy mouth. Burbot are the only freshwater members of the cod family and commonly spawn beneath winter ice.
