. Atlas and zoogeography of common fishes in the Bering Sea and Northeastern Pacific / M. James Allen, Gary B. Smith. Fishes Bering Sea Geographical BUTTER SOLE, Pleuronectes isolepis (Lockington 1880) Pleuronectidae: Righteye Flounders Taxonomic comment The butter sole is Isopsetta isolepis in Robins (1980), but Sakamoto (1984), the most recent revision of the family Pleuronectidae, placed the species in the genus Pleuronectes. Literature Reported from the Bering Sea and Amchitka Island in the Aleutian Islands to Ventura, California, and from 20 to 366 m (Wilimovksy 1964; Quast and Hall 1972; Fedorov 1973a; Eschmeyer and Herald 1983). Survey data Found from south of Hagemeister Island in Bristol Bay, west to Little Sitkin Island in the Aleutian Islands, and southeast to Point Reyes, California. Depth range 25 to 425 m, most commonly ( of occurrences) on the middle shelf between 50 and 100 m, and of occurrences from depths < 150 m. Survey data provide a more detailed distribution in the southeastern Bering Sea and extend the maximum known depth. Although the species has definitely been taken from the southeastern Bering Sea (Kessler 1985), at least some fish identified in the field as butter sole in the northwestern Bering Sea were actually Sakhalin sole, Pleuronectes (=Limanda) sakhalinensis (Hubbs 1915). Records of butter sole from the following locations were considered questionable: off Dezhneva Bay (west of Cape Nizkiy) in the western Bering Sea; east of Cape Navarin; and over the outer shelf of the eastern Bering Sea, north of the Pribilof Islands.
