Butterfish
The butterfish is a common small (up to 20 centimeters) coastal fish in the North Sea, which likes to hide between the rocks (or basalt blocks from sea dikes) and in wrecks. Butterfish eat all possible types of small prey, such as shrimp, slaters, shellfish and worms. One can find clumps of yellow round eggs from the butterfish under stones lying low in the tidal zone.
