Description

Lycodes pallidus Collett, 1879.

Pale Eelpout. To at least 28.9 cm (11.4 in) SL; a report of a 38 cm (15 in) TL individual needs verification (Mecklenburg et al. 2018). Nearly circumpolar; Beaufort Sea (as far west as 71°12’N, 148°35’W) eastward through Canada, Greenland, to East Siberian Sea (Mecklenburg et al. 2018). Epipelagic, mesopelagic, and bathypelagic; depth: 6–1,750 m (20–5,740 ft) (min.: Møller in Coad and Møller 2018; max.: Mecklenburg et al. 2016). “ L. pallidus does not appear to be monophyletic and more taxonomic work is needed” (Mecklenburg et al. 2018).
