Anarhichadidae There are one or possibly two species of wolffishes in the Bering Sea; they were represented in the collections by five larval Anarhichas orientalis, the Bering wolf fish, caught at five stations on one cruise in spring (see Cruise 37, Table 30-1). All were caught with neuston nets at stations near the outer edge of the continental shelf between Unimak Pass and the PribUof Islands (see Fig. 30-6). Eggs of wolffish are demersal and none were reported. Stichaeidae The pricklebacks, a fairly large family with 21 species present in the Bering Sea, were represented in these collections by six species in four genera and stichaeid larvae identified only to family. Prickle- backs, present in 23 of the collections, had one of the widest distributions of all the fish larvae, from the Aleutian Islands to 65°N, and from 158°W in Bristol Bay to 174°E (Fig. 30-26). Most stichaeid larvae were caught with surface tows, although some were taken with oblique and vertical tows. One species, Lumpenus maculatus, was caught more frequently in oblique tows. Alectridium aurantiacum, the lesser prickleback, was collected at only a single station (see Cruise 1, Table 30-1) in quadrangle 54i/2°N, 165°W. Chirolophis polyactocephalus, the decorated warbonnet, was caught at 27 stations on two cruises in spring in the general area between the Aleutian and Pribilof Islands from deep water to the outer conti-.

Catches were moderate, usually fewer than 20 larvae per station, with a maximum catch of 78 at a station in quadrangle 531/2°N, 168° W. The genus Lumpenus included those pricklebacks identified only to genus, plus three
