Tidepool Snailfish. To 18.3 cm (7.2 in) TL (Miller and Lea 1972). Kodiak Island, western Gulf of Alaska (Mecklenburg et al. 2002) to King Harbor, southern California (Stephens et al. 1994). Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands records are uncertain (Mecklenburg et al. 2002). Benthic; depth: intertidal to 15 m (50 ft) (min.: Miller and Lea 1972; max.: Personal communication: Los Angeles County Museum of Natural History Fish Collection, Los Angeles, California). Several collections (Personal communication: University of Washington, Burke Museum of Natural History and Culture Fish Collection, Seattle, Washington UW 028618 and UW 158024) previously identified as L. florae and found both further westward and deeper than previous records were misidentified (Katherine Maslenikov).
