Description
Summary:Psychrolutes phrictus Stein & Bond, 1978. Blob Sculpin or Giant Blob Sculpin. To about 70 cm (27.5 in) TL (Eschmeyer and Herald 1983). Sea of Okhotsk and Pacific side of Honshu, Japan to Commander Islands, and western Bering Sea north to Cape Navarin (Mecklenburg et al. 2002), to Bering Sea as far northward as 59°20’N, 178°20’W (Maslenikov et al. 2013) to Pacific Ocean off San Diego, southern California (Eschmeyer and Herald 1983); one record from off the coast of Guerrero, Mexico (17°45’N, 101°59’W) (Aguirre-Villaseñor et al. 2016). Benthic; depth: 114–2,800 m (374–9,186 ft) (min.: DFO; max.: Stein and Bond 1978). Although washed up on a beach once at Adak Island in Alaska (Mecklenburg et al. 2002) and caught once in shallow water off Westport, Washington (Schoener and Fluharty in Wooster and Fluharty 1985), these are rare records for this bottom-dwelling, deepwater species, and likely reflect abnormal circumstances.
