Lycodes rossi Malmgren 1865

Description

Lycodes rossi Malmgren, 1865.

Threespot Eelpout. To 31 cm (12.2 in) or 38 cm (15 in) TL (Mecklenburg et al. 2018). Nearly circumpolar; Greenland eastward to Laptev Sea; Beaufort Sea off Alaska (as far west as 155°W) eastward to Dease Strait, Canada. Not verified from Chukchi Sea (Mecklenburg et al. 2016). Benthic; depth: 42–467 m (138–1,532 ft); juveniles as shallow as 9 m (30 ft) (min.: Mecklenburg et al. 2016; max. Personal communication: University of Washington, Burke Museum of Natural History and Culture Fish Collection, Seattle, Washington). There are no clear distinctions between L. rossi and L. reticulatus and thus data on distributions are problematic (Mecklenburg et al. 2011, Mecklenburg and Steinke 2015).
