To 36.5 cm (14.3 in), SL, 43.5 cm (17.1 in) TL (Personal communication: University of Washington, Burke Museum of Natural History and Culture Fish Collection, Seattle, Washington). Coasts of East Siberian and Chukchi Seas to Gulf of Anadyr, and Norton Sound, Bering Sea, to Beaufort Sea, and along Arctic Canada coasts to Greenland and Gulf of Saint Lawrence in Atlantic (Mecklenburg et al. 2002). Also confirmed 19 th Century records from Bristol Bay (eastern Bering Sea) and Chignik Bay (Gulf of Alaska) (Mecklenburg et al. 2011).
