Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Speciesbox The bighead sculpin (Batrachocottus baicalensis) is a species of sculpin fish that is endemic to the Lake Baikal watershed in Siberia, Russia.[1] It typically lives on rocky bottoms, often in places with sponges, at depths of Шаблон:Convert, but can occur as deep as Шаблон:Convert.[2] Its colour varies from grayish to brownish or greenish depending on the bottom type.[2] It can reach up to Шаблон:Convert in length, but most are Шаблон:Convert.[2] It feeds on a wide range of smaller animals such as young fish, insect larvae, amphipods, molluscs and oligochaetes.[2] Breeding is in the spring where the female lays 618 to 1622 eggs, which are guarded by the male.[2]

The bighead sculpin is variously considered to belong either to the family Cottocomephoridae,[1] Cottidae[3] or Abyssocottidae.[4]
