Pricklebreast Poacher. To 16.5 cm (6.5 in) TL (Jordan and Evermann 1898). Icy Bay, northern Gulf of Alaska (Mecklenburg et al. 2002), and northern British Columbia near Alaska border (Barraclough and Peden 1976) to Bahía Magdalena, southern Baja California (Personal communication: Scripps Institution of Oceanography Fish Collection, La Jolla, California).
