. Atlas and zoogeography of common fishes in the Bering Sea and Northeastern Pacific / M. James Allen, Gary B. Smith. Fishes Bering Sea Geographical GREAT SCULPIN, Myoxocephalus polyacanthocephalus (Pallas [1814]) Cottidae: Sculpins Literature Reported from the eastern Sea of Japan to the Commander Islands (but not in the Sea of Okhotsk), east along the Aleutians, north in the Bering Sea to the Pribilof Islands, and southeast to Puget Sound, Washington (Wilimovsky 1964; Quast and Hall 1972; Eschmeyer and Herald 1983), at depths of 0 to 320 m (Neelov 1979). Survey data Found from Cape Olyutorski in the western Bering Sea north to off Cape Shpanberga in the Anadyr Gulf, southeast in the eastern Bering Sea to the Alaska Peninsula, west in the Aleutian Islands to Attu Island, and east to Cape Saint Elias in the northern Gulf of Alaska. Depth range 25 to 775 m, most frequently ( of occurrences) on the middle shelf between 50 and 100 m, and of occurrences from depths <250 m. Survey data extend the known range to the north in the Bering Sea and provide a new maximum depth record. It is possible that some Bering Sea records of this species may actually be records of either the warty sculpin, Myoxocephalus verrucosus, or the plain sculpin, Myoxocephalus jaok.
