Occella dodecaedron

Description

Occella dodecaedron (Tilesius, 1813).

Bering Poacher. To 23 cm (9.1 in) TL (Tokranov 1992). Seas of Japan and Okhotsk, and Kuril Islands to Kamchatka, and western Bering Sea at Gulf of Anadyr; south-eastern Chukchi Sea (66°16’N, 161°21’W) (Mecklenburg et al. 2011), and eastern Bering Sea at Norton Sound (Mecklenburg et al. 2002), and Bristol Bay (Johnson et al. 2012) to western Gulf of Alaska (Mecklenburg et al. 2002). Northeastern Chukchi Sea (Barber et al. 1997) is unverified (Mecklenburg et al. 2011). Benthic; marine and brackish waters (Dyldin and Orlov 2017); depth: at least intertidal to 100 m (320 ft) (min.: Mecklenburg et al. 2016; max.: Kim and Kim 2019). Panchenko et al. (2016) list a maximum depth of 280 m (918 ft), but without attribution. One aberrant, questionable record from 375 m (1,230 ft) (Allen and Smith 1988), perhaps from contamination of sample such as fish left in net from a previous, shallower tow, or fish entering the net above maximum depth of tow.
