description
Gelatinous Seasnail. To 23.7 cm (9.3 in) SL (Stasko et al. 2016). Circumpolar in Arctic; Beaufort and Chukchi Seas, Alaska (Mecklenburg et al. 2002), at least as far north as near Herald Island (71 ° 55 ’ N, 175 ° 18 ’ W), northern Chukchi Sea (Mecklenburg et al. 2007) southward to north Saint Lawrence Island (64 ° 30 ’ N, 170 ° 26 ’ W) (Mecklenburg et al. 2011). Pelagic and benthic (Coad in Coad and Reist 2018); depth: 6 m or less to at least 520 m (20 – 1,706 ft) (min.: Coad in Coad and Reist 2018; max.: Mecklenburg et al. 2016) and perhaps as deep as 1,880 m (6,204 ft) but this latter may represent a midwater catch by a bottom trawl (Mecklenburg et al. 2016). Although it has been suggested that Liparis fabricii is a species complex, discussed in Mecklenburg et al. (2018), Mecklenburg et al. (2018) go on to state that “ Both morphology and DNA indicate that one species is represented from the Pacific Arctic eastward to the Arctic Ocean off Svalbard. ”
