* Myoxocephalus stelleri Tilesius, 1811. Frog Sculpin . To 62 cm (24.4 in) FL (Kulik et al. 2016). Sea of Japan coast of South Korea to Sea of Okhotsk, east coast of Kamchatka, and Commander Islands. A species endemic to the north-western Pacific (Mecklenburg et al. 2015), only unconfirmed records from Arctic and Alaska (Mecklenburg et al. 2011). Benthic; marine, brackish, and fresh waters (Dyldin and Orlov 2017); depth: intertidal to 65 m (213 ft) (min.: Mecklenburg et al. 2002; max.: Panchenko et al. 2016). Off North America, both Myoxocephalus scorpius and M . polyacanthocephalus have been mistaken for this species (Mecklenburg et al. 2015). Various records of this species in U.S. waters (e.g., Personal communication: University of Washington, Burke Museum of Natural History and Culture Fish Collection, Seattle, Washington) are of other species (Katherine Maslenikov). : Published as part of Love, Milton S., Bizzarro, Joseph J., Cornthwaite, Maria, Frable, Benjamin W. & Maslenikov, Katherine P., 2021, Checklist of marine and estuarine fishes from the Alaska-Yukon Border, Beaufort Sea, to Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, pp. 1-285 in Zootaxa 5053 (1) on page 124, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.5053.1.1, http://zenodo.org/record/5578008 : {"references": ["Kulik, V.
