Description
The skin of the majority of psychrolytes is mobile, bare, devoid of any bone spines or plates, and in the most evasive species from horn-like bodies, the body is loose, gelatinous. In less specialized genera ( Dasycottus , Malacocottus , Cottunculus ) there are thorns on the anterior cover disappearing in genera that deviate from the original type ( Ebinania , Neophrynichthys ); the first dorsal fin is well developed and separated from the second, but in highly specialized genera one solid fin ( Eurymen ) or the first dorsal fin in adults is overgrown with soft tissues of the back and is not visible ( Ebinania ). In all species, the abdominal fins are very poorly developed.
