Description
Summary:Bathymaster signatus Cope, 1873. Searcher . To 38 cm (15 in) TL (Mecklenburg et al. 2002). Pacific coast of Hokkaido, Japan (Shinohara et al. 1992), Sea of Okhotsk, and Kuril Islands to western Bering Sea and Commander Islands, and Bering Sea as far northward as Saint Matthew Island (61°N, 178°31’W), Alaska (Mecklenburg et al. 2011), southeast from Navarin Canyon, and throughout Aleutian Islands to Washington (Mecklenburg et al. 2002). Records as far south as northern British Columbia have good documentation, but those from Washington are uncertain (Stevenson and Matarese 2005). Records from Puget Sound and at the mouth of the Strait of Juan de Fuca are in error (Pietsch and Orr 2019). Benthic; depth: adults at 3–380 m (10–1,247 ft) (min.: Personal communication: University of Washington, Burke Museum of Natural History and Culture Fish Collection, Seattle, Washington; max.: Fedorov 1973); juveniles often collected at surface. Reported to 825 m (2,707 ft) (Allen and Smith 1988), but the fish may not have entered the net at or near the maximum depth of the tow. : 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 179, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.5053.1.1, http://zenodo.org/record/5578008 : {"references": ["Shinohara, G., Yoshida, H. & Yabe, M.
