. Atlas and zoogeography of common fishes in the Bering Sea and Northeastern Pacific / M. James Allen, Gary B. Smith. Fishes Bering Sea Geographical GIANT GRENADIER, Albatrossia pectoralis (Gilbert 1892) Macrouridae: Grenadiers Taxonomic comment Although the giant grenadier is Coryphaenoides pectoralis in the most recent revision of the Macrouridae of the northeastern Pacific (, Iwamoto and Stein 1974), it is placed in the genus Albatrossia in Eschmeyer and Herald (1983), based upon the present opinion of T. Iwamoto (Dep. Ichthyology, Calif. Acad. Sci., San Francisco, CA 94118, pers. commun. March 1986). Literature Reported from northern Honshu, Japan, to the Bering Sea and south to northern Baja California (Quast and Hall 1972; T. Iwamoto, pers. commun. March 1986), at depths from 200 to 2189 m (Iwamoto and Stein 1974; Howe 1981). Survey data Found from Navarin Canyon on the northwestern slope of the eastern Bering Sea and Stalemate Bank and the Ulm Plateau in the Aleutian Islands to Christian Sound, southeastern Alaska. Depth range 25 to 1025 m, most frequently ( of occurrences) on the slope between 500 and 550 m, and of occurrences from depths of 300 to 900 m. Although the survey data provide a new shallow record, it is clear that this species occurs primarily in deep water along the slope. Conclusions Zoogeography Life zone Range Depth Northeastern boreal Pacific Mesobenthal-bathybenthal (bathybenthal) From northern Honshu, Japan, to Navarin Canyon in the Bering Sea and south to northern Baja California 200 to 2189 m. although generally below 300 m; possibly as shallow as 25 m.
