description
Flabby Sculpin. To 6.4 cm (2.5 in) TL (Eschmeyer and Herald 1983). Sea of Okhotsk, northern Kuril Islands (Sheiko and Fedorov 2000), and Pacific Ocean off south-eastern Kamchatka (Bolin 1944) to south-eastern Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands (Mecklenburg et al. 2002) and off Vancouver Island, southern British Columbia (Love et al. 2005) to northern Baja California (Bolin 1944). Benthic; depth: 422 – 2,580 m (1,384 – 8,465 ft) (min.: Hoff 2013; max.: Eschmeyer and Herald 1983). A reported minimum depth of 88 m (289 ft) (Eschmeyer and Herald 1983) is evidently a printer’s error (Mecklenburg et al. 2002).
