What's the difference between sculpin and skulpin?
Sculpin
Definition:
(n.) Any one of numerous species of marine cottoid fishes of the genus Cottus, or Acanthocottus, having a large head armed with sharp spines, and a broad mouth. They are generally mottled with yellow, brown, and black. Several species are found on the Atlantic coasts of Europe and America.
(n.) A large cottoid market fish of California (Scorpaenichthys marmoratus); -- called also bighead, cabezon, scorpion, salpa.
(n.) The dragonet, or yellow sculpin, of Europe (Callionymus lura).
Example Sentences:

(19) Immunostaining of brain and pituitary sections of teleost fishes (eels, salmonidae, cyprinidae, gourami, sculpin, mullet) with anti porcine galanin (GAL) revealed the presence of immunoreactive (ir) perikarya and a rich network of fibers.
