Sharpnose Sculpin . To 6.4 cm ( 2.5 in ) TL ( Miller and Lea 1972 ). Attu Island, Aleutian Islands ( Gilbert and Burke 1912 ) to Big Sur River, central California ( Miller and Lea 1972 ); one record from Santa Catalina Island ( 33°18’N , 118°21’W ) (NWFSC-FRAM). Benthic; depth: intertidal to 114 m ( 373 ft ) (min.: Mecklenburg et al. 2002; max. NWFSC-FRAM). Although previously thought to be an intertidal and shallow subtidal species, we note that the NWFSC-FRAM database records 34 individuals captured between 49 and 114 m ( 161–373 ft ). Often in brackish water, occasionally in fresh water ( Morrow 1980 ). Perhaps more properly in the genus Artedius (Knope 2013) . Clinocottus ( Oxycottus ) acuticeps (Buser and López 2015) .
