. Atlas and zoogeography of common fishes in the Bering Sea and Northeastern Pacific / M. James Allen, Gary B. Smith. Fishes Bering Sea Geographical EULACHON, Thaleichthys pacificus (Richardson 1836) Osmeridae: Smelts Literature Reported from the Pribilof Islands and Nushagak River, Alaska, in the Bering Sea and along the Aleutians south to Monterey Bay, California (Lee et al. 1980; Eschmeyer and Herald 1983). A pelagic and anadromous species, migrating up to 160 km upstream (Morrow 1980), and reported to 31 m in depth (Howe 1981). Survey data Taken from west of Saint Matthew Island and off Kuskokwim Bay in the eastern Bering Sea to Bowers Bank in the Aleutian Islands and south to Monterey Bay, California. Depth range 25 to 625 m, most frequently ( of occurrences) on the outer shelf between 100 and 150 m, and of occurrences from depths <300 m. Survey data extend the northwestern limit of the known range along the Alaskan mainland, in the Bering Sea, and along the Aleutian Islands, and extend its maximum known depth by almost 600 m. Because this species is pelagic, it may have been captured near the surface by trawls that were towed at greater depths; hence, the 625-m maximum depth given here may greatly overestimate its true maximum depth. Conclusions Zoogeography Life zone Range Depth Eastern boreal Pacific Fluvial-oceanic (neritic) From west of Saint Matthew Island and Kuskokwim Bay in the Bering Sea, and Bowers Bank in the Aleutian Islands to Monterey Bay, California, and to 160 km upstream Surface to about 300 m, possibly 625 m. 60 00N OSMERIDAE Eulachon Thaleichthys pacificus 3104 occurrences 22.
