description
Sailfin Sculpin or Sailfin Sea Raven. To 20.3 cm (8 in) TL (Mecklenburg et al. 2002). Shumagin Islands (54 ° 56 ’ N, 160 ° 24 ’ W), western Gulf of Alaska (Maslenikov et al. 2013) to San Miguel Island, southern California (Miller and Lea 1972). Benthic; marine and brackish waters (Dyldin and Orlov 2017); depth: intertidal to 208 m (682 ft) (min.: Mecklenburg et al. 2002; max.: Personal communication: University of Washington, Burke Museum of Natural History and Culture Fish Collection, Seattle, Washington). A specimen was reported caught in the eastern Bering Sea at about 57 ° 30 ’ N, 169 ° 20 ’ W. However, the specimen was not retained (Duane Stevenson, pers. comm. to M. L.). A specimen in the University of Washington, Burke Museum of Natural History and Culture Fish Collection database, UW 014324, as N. oculofasciatus from the Bering Sea, is actually Nautichthys pribilovius (Jordan & Gilbert in Jordan & Gilbert, 1898) (Katherine Maslenikov).
