Anarrhichthys ocellatus Ayres, 1855. Wolf-eel . To no more than 203 cm (6.7 ft) (Pietsch and Orr 2019) or perhaps to 240 cm (nearly 8 ft) TL (Mecklenburg et al. 2002). South-eastern Bering Sea east to Cape Menshikof, west along Aleutian Islands to Krenitzin Islands, and Gulf of Alaska (Mecklenburg et al. 2002) to northern Baja California (31°41’N, 116°42’W) (Feeney et al. 2007). This species has also been reported to live around Isla Guadalupe, central Baja California (del Prado and Peters 2005), but without documentation. A Wolf-eel found on the northeastern Bering Sea coast at Nome after a major storm (Love et al. 2005) may have drifted there from farther south in the Bering Sea. Depth: intertidal to 417 m (1,368 ft) (min.: Miller and Lea 1972; max.: NWFSC-FRAM). : 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 191, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.5053.1.1, http://zenodo.org/record/5578008 : {"references": ["Pietsch, T.
