Lycodes japonicus Matsubara & Iwai, 1951. Japanese Eelpout . To 34 cm SL (Nalbant 1994). Sea of Japan off Honshu in Toyama Bay and near Sado Island; one record from eastern North Pacific Ocean from Bering Sea north of Near Islands (western Aleutian Islands), Alaska (Mecklenburg et al. 2002). Benthic; depth: about 216–985 m (708–3,231 ft) (Dolganov and Saveliev 2013). Panchenko et al. (2016) list a minimum depth of 200 m (656 ft), but without attribution. Balanov and Solomatov (2008) question the record from Alaska. They point out that fish in the western Pacific reach a maximum length of 14 cm (5.6 in) TL that is far smaller than the Alaska fish. : 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 183, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.5053.1.1, http://zenodo.org/record/5578008 : {"references": ["Nalbant, T.
