Oligocottus snyderi Greeley, 1898. Fluffy Sculpin . To 9.2 cm (3.6 in) SL, about 11 cm (4.3 in) TL (Cox et al. 2006). Chernabura Island, western Gulf of Alaska (Mecklenburg et al. 2002); Samsing Cove, near Sitka, south-eastern Alaska (Quast 1968) to Punta Cono (29°06’N, 114°42’W), central Baja California (Personal communication: Scripps Institution of Oceanography Fish Collection, La Jolla, California). Benthic; depth: intertidal to 6 m (20 ft) or more (min.: Bolin 1944; max.: Burge and Schultz 1973). We also note that there is a considerably deeper record of 155 m (508 ft) (DFO) from the “2006 multi-species small mesh bottom trawl survey.” While without documentation, the difficulty of sampling this quite small, rocky-reef species make this record at least plausible. : 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": ["Cox, K., McGary, C., Mulligan, T. & Craig, S.
