Description
Summary:Rimicola muscarum (Meek & Pierson, 1895). Kelp Clingfish. To 7 cm (2.8 in) TL (Eschmeyer and Herald 1983). Glacier Bay, south-eastern Alaska (Mecklenburg et al. 2002) to Punta Baja, northern Baja California (Watson in Moser 1996). Also reported from Kachemak Bay, northern Gulf of Alaska (Abookire 2002): the arrival of R. muscarum in Kachemak Bay coincided with arrival of large quantities of floating bull kelp (Nereocystis) which may have been their mode of travel (Love et al. 2005). Benthic; depth: intertidal to 5 m (16 ft) (min.: Miller and Lea 1972; max.: Shelly Moore, pers. comm. to M.L.). The Glacier Bay specimen (Personal communication: University of Alaska Fairbanks Fish Collection, Fairbanks, Alaska) may have been lost, as a different fish is now in the jar (Love et al. 2005). ... : 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 202, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.5053.1.1, http://zenodo.org/record/5578008 ...
