Lycodes turneri Bean 1879
Description
Lycodes turneri Bean, 1879.
Estuarine Eelpout or Polar Eelpout. To 85 cm (33.5 in) SL (Mecklenburg et al. 2018). Western Beaufort (Mecklenburg et al. 2011), and Chukchi Seas to Bristol Bay in the eastern Bering Sea to about Cape Olyutorskiy in the western Bering Sea (Mecklenburg et al. 2002). Benthic; depth: 1–125 m (3–410 ft) (min.: Mecklenburg et al. 2011; max.: Allen and Smith 1988). Historically, this species, Lycodes mucosus, and Lycodes polaris have often been mistaken for one another. The AFS–ASIH fish names committee (Page et al. 2013) calls this fish the Polar Eelpout, the name we prefer for L. polaris.
