Cottunculus sadko is a species of marine ray-finned fish belonging to the family Psychrolutidae, the fatheads. This species is found from Greenland to the Norwegian and Kara Seas in the northeast Atlantic Ocean.[1] However, some authorities regard this taxon as a synonym of the Polar sculpin (C. microps).[2]
