Anarrhichthys ocellatus
Ayres, 1855
.
Wolf-eel
. To no more than
203 cm
(
6.7 ft
) (
Pietsch and Orr 2019
) or perhaps to
240 cm
(nearly
8 ft
) TL (Mecklenburg
et al.
2002). South-eastern Bering Sea east to Cape Menshikof, west along Aleutian Islands to Krenitzin Islands, and Gulf of Alaska (Mecklenburg
et al.
2002) to northern Baja California (
31°41’N
,
116°42’W
) (
Feeney
et al.
2007
). This species has also been reported to live around
Isla Guadalupe
, central Baja California (
del Prado and Peters 2005
), but without documentation. A Wolf-eel found on the northeastern Bering Sea coast at Nome after a major storm (
Love
et al.
2005
) may have drifted there from farther south in the Bering Sea. Depth: intertidal to
417 m
(
1,368 ft
) (min.:
Miller and Lea 1972
; max.: NWFSC-FRAM).
