Myoxocephalus scorpioides (Fabricius, 1780). Arctic Sculpin. To 36.5 cm (14.3 in), SL, 43.5 cm (17.1 in) TL (Personal communication: University of Washington, Burke Museum of Natural History and Culture Fish Collection, Seattle, Washington). Coasts of East Siberian and Chukchi Seas to Gulf of Anadyr, and Norton Sound, Bering Sea, to Beaufort Sea, and along Arctic Canada coasts to Greenland and Gulf of Saint Lawrence in Atlantic (Mecklenburg et al. 2002). Also confirmed 19 ^th Century records from Bristol Bay (eastern Bering Sea) and Chignik Bay (Gulf of Alaska) (Mecklenburg et al. 2011). Benthic; marine and brackish waters (Fricke et al. 2020); depth: shallow waters near shore to 40 m (131 ft) (Mecklenburg et al. 2016). A much deeper maximum record of 280 m (918 ft) (Coad in Coad and Reist 2018) is without documentation. Male Myoxocephalus scorpius (Linnaeus, 1758) in breeding coloration have often been incorrectly identified (e.g., in museum collections) as M. scorpioides (Catherine W. Mecklenburg, unpubl. data). Boreocottus axillaris Gill, 1859 is a junior synonym (Mecklenburg et al. 2018).
