The occurrence, distribution, and 

 abundance of cunner eggs obtained in 

 1914-15 is documented.

 in fish. Anim. Behavior, 13(1): 154-162. 

 Laboratory experiments were conducted 

 on cunner, tomcod, killifish, scup, and 

 flounder. Results indicated that no 

 pre-light or pre-feeding activity occurs in 

 cunners. Individuals seldom fed and would 

 not tolerate companions in the aquarium.

"Cunner. The erythrocytes of this fish 

 very closely resemble in their staining 

 reactions those of the two preceding forms 

 (Toadfish and Tautog). Fewer immature 

 cells were noted than in the tautog, and in 

 general the reticulation patterns are very 

 meager. The primary granules also appear 

 as basophilic bodies with Wright's stain."

 several species of marine fishes. Biol. Bull. 

 (Woods Hole), 64(1): 33-43. 



Cunners were found to possess almost all 

 (99+%) mature erythrocytes in their 

 circulatory systems. These results were 

 almost identical to those obtained for the 

 toadfish, tautog, sea bass, pipefish, sand 

 dab, weakfish, and sharksucker.

A description of the taxonomic features, 

 color, habitat and range of the cunner 

 (Ctenolabrus ceruleus and Ctenolabrus 

 uniotatus) is given. "The Bergall has 

 various popular names: 'Nibbler', from its 

 vexatious nibbling at the bait thrown out 

 for other fishes; 'Chogset', a name derived 

 from the Mohegan dialect, but its purport 

 unknown; 'Burgall', I suppose to be of 

 Dutch origin, as its use seems to be 

 confined to the neighborhood of New 

 York. It is also called 'Blue-Fish', on 

 account of its prevailing color. At Boston, 

 it is often called 'Blue Perch' and generally 

 among the eastern fisherman, 'Cunner', or 

 'Connor'. This last name is applied to a 

 Crenilabrus on the coast of Sussex and 

 Hampshire in England, from whence I 

 presume it was derived." p. 173.
