Katherine Maslenikov has checked the specimen and, unless this is a washdown from a previous, shallower haul, the specimen was identified correctly and the underlying data appears to be correct. ... : 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 128, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.5053.1.1, http://zenodo.org/record/5578008 ...
