Description
Opsanus beta is known by the common name gulf toadfish, which comes from its ability to produce a toad-like grunt. The sound is amplified by its swim bladder and is used for attracting a mate. Gulf toadfish is considered too ugly and inactive for aquarium popularity, and its taste is too poor for the fishing industry.
