Template:Short description Template:Speciesbox Cottus scaturigo, the Timavo sculpin, is a species of freshwater ray-finned fish belonging to the family Cottidae, the typical sculpins. It is endemic to the Timavo Spring in Italy. This species was described as a separate species from the European bullhead (C. gobio) in 2005 by Jörg Freyhof, Maurice Kottelat and Arne W. Nolte.[1] However, the Catalog of Fishes treats this taxon as a synonym of Cottus metae,[2] although FishBase treats it as a separate species.[3] The specific name scaturigo means "spouting water", i.e. a spring, an allusion to the Timavo Spring.[4]
