Lycodes mucosus Richardson, 1855. Saddled Eelpout or Lightcheek Eelpout. To 49 cm (19.3 in) TL (Andriashev 1954); at 48.5 cm SL, a specimen in the University of Washington, Burke Museum of Natural History and Culture Fish Collection (UW 111520) was probably a bit more than 49 cm TL but the caudal rays are broken off (Catherine W. Mecklenburg, unpubl. data). Chukchi Sea eastward to Cumberland Sound, Baffin Island, and north-western Greenland; southward to Bering Sea to Gulf of Anadyr, and south side of Saint Matthew Island (Mecklenburg et al. 2016). Benthic; depth: intertidal to 184 m (590 ft) (Mecklenburg et al. 2016). Note that in the past this species, Lycodes turneri , and Lycodes polaris have often been mistaken for one another. Lycodes knipowitschi Popov, 1931, a Sea of Okhotsk endemic, may be a synonym (Mecklenburg et al. 2016). : 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": ["Andriashev, A.
