==Habitat and biology==
The goosefishes are typically found on soft substrates on the [[continental margin]], most frequently at depths greater than {{cvt|200|m}}, and there are species whichhave been found at depths greater than {{cvt|1000|m}}. A few species, such as the American angler (''[[Lophius americanus]]'') are found in shallower waters, sometimes moving into bays and estuaries with high-salinity water in the winter.<ref name = FAO>{{cite book |author=John H.
