. Atlas and zoogeography of common fishes in the Bering Sea and Northeastern Pacific / M. James Allen, Gary B. Smith. Fishes Bering Sea Geographical BIGFIN EELPOUT, Lycodes cortezianus (Gilbert 1890) Zoarcidae: Eelpouts Taxonomic comment The bigfin eelpout is Aprodon cortezianus in Robins (1980), but Eschmeyer and Herald (1983) and E. M. Anderson (Dep. Ichthyol., Calif. Acad. Sci., San Francisco, CA 94118, pers. commun. April 1984) place this species in the genus Lycodes. Literature Reported from Queen Charlotte Sound, British Columbia, to San Diego, California (Miller and Lea 1972), at depths of 73 to 800 m (Howe 1981; Eschmeyer and Herald 1983). Survey data Found from Prince of Wales Island, Alaska, south to the Santa Barbara Channel, California. There is a highly questionable record of this species from west of Saint Matthew Island in the eastern Bering Sea and a questionable record off Stepovak Bay on the Alaska Peninsula in the Gulf of Alaska. Found at depths of 75 to 475 m, most frequently ( of occurrences) on the mesobenthal slope between 300 and 350 m, and of occurrences from depths of 100 to 450 m. Survey data extend the known geographic range to the north to at least Prince of Wales Island, Alaska. Conclusions Zoogeography Life zone Range Depth Eastern boreal Pacific Outer shelf-mesobenthal (mesobenthal) From Prince of Wales Island, Alaska (or, questionably, from Saint Matthew Island in the Bering Sea and Stepovak Bay in the western Gulf of Alaska) south to San Diego, California 73 to 800 m.
