Trichodon trichodon trichodon (Tilesius 1813

Description

Trichodon trichodon (Tilesius, 1813).

Pacific Sandfish. To 30.5 cm (12 in) TL (Miller and Lea 1972). Japan to Kuril Islands (rarely), south-eastern Kamchatka, and Commander–Aleutian chain to south-eastern Bering Sea, including Pribilof Islands (Mecklenburg et al. 2002) to San Francisco, northern California (Miller and Lea 1972). Burton and Lea (2019) note that the “San Francisco” location of Miller and Lea was based on a statement that the specimen came from a “market in San Francisco” in 1860. Thus, the precise location is unknown but is likely to be close to that location. Morin and Dodson (1986) report catches from James Bay, Hudson Bay, and Hudson Strait, but do not list their sources. Depth: intertidal, where it is often found buried in the sand after a receding tide (e.g., Lamb and Edgell 1986) to reported 375 m (1,230 ft), but usually found shallower than 150 m (492 ft) (Allen and Smith 1988).
