These two freckled stargazers (Xenocephalus egregius) were collected by NOAA’s Northeast Fisheries Bottom Trawl Survey in September 2022. They were used to help redescribe the species, and show the physical changes that this species experiences throughout its lifespan. Juveniles (top) tend to have blue-green streaks, while adults (bottom) display a yellow-gold coloring and freckles. These specimens now reside in the Smithsonian Institution National Museum of Natural History’s collection. Credit: Katherine Bemis/NOAA Fisheries and Matthew Girard/Smithsonian Institution
