Liparis tunicatus Reinhardt 1836

Description

Liparis tunicatus Reinhardt, 1836.

Greenland Seasnail or Kelp Snailfish. To 20.7 cm (8.1 in) SL (Stasko et al. 2016). Circumpolar, to as far north as 82°29’N, 62°15’W at Ellesmere Island (Mecklenburg et al. 2011); Beaufort and Chukchi Seas to northern Bering Sea at Saint Matthew Island, Alaska and Gulf of Anadyr, Russia (Mecklenburg et al. 2018) and Sea of Okhotsk (as Liparis marmoratus) (Schmidt 1950). Adults benthic, juveniles associated with medusa (Coad in Coad and Reist 2018); depth: intertidal to 415 m (1,361 ft) (Mecklenburg et al. 2011), and perhaps to 600 m (1,968 ft) (Mecklenburg et al. 2011). Liparis herschelinus (Scofield, 1898) is a synonym (Mecklenburg et al. 2016). Liparis marmoratus Schmidt, 1950, identified from the Beaufort Sea, is likely L. tunicatus (Mecklenburg et al. 2016).
