Fishes.

There are very few species of fishes in the White sea! These are several species of sculpins, a few species of cods and flat fishes. In addition: the wolf fish, the gunnel, eelpout, lumpsucker, herring, and a few species of stickleback. That's all!

It is very complicated to make a photo of fishes in the White sea because of their speed and the cold water.

A stickleback:

Gasterosteus aculeatus. A well-known species of fish which is famous dew to its ability of making nests. Actually stickleback is a freshwater species, but it can also live in the sea.

An eelpout:

Zoarces viviparus.
