Lycodes japonicus Matsubara & Iwai 1951
Description
Lycodes japonicus Matsubara & Iwai, 1951.
Japanese Eelpout. To 34 cm SL (Nalbant 1994). Sea of Japan off Honshu in Toyama Bay and near Sado Island; one record from eastern North Pacific Ocean from Bering Sea north of Near Islands (western Aleutian Islands), Alaska (Mecklenburg et al. 2002). Benthic; depth: about 216–985 m (708–3,231 ft) (Dolganov and Saveliev 2013). Panchenko et al. (2016) list a minimum depth of 200 m (656 ft), but without attribution. Balanov and Solomatov (2008) question the record from Alaska. They point out that fish in the western Pacific reach a maximum length of 14 cm (5.6 in) TL that is far smaller than the Alaska fish.
