Icelinus tenui s Gilbert, 1890. Spotfin Sculpin. To 18 cm (7.1 in) TL (Eric Miller, pers. comm. to M.L.). We note that the DFO database lists a number of specimens much larger than 18 cm (e.g., 29 cm, 11.4 in, 28 cm, 11 in, and 27 cm, 10.6 in). Maria Cornthwaite reports that all of these fish were c...

| Summary: | Icelinus tenui s Gilbert, 1890. Spotfin Sculpin. To 18 cm (7.1 in) TL (Eric Miller, pers. comm. to M.L.). We note that the DFO database lists a number of specimens much larger than 18 cm (e.g., 29 cm, 11.4 in, 28 cm, 11 in, and 27 cm, 10.6 in). Maria Cornthwaite reports that all of these fish were caught in a single tow (that contained an unusually large number of this species), on 2 August 2009, south-east of Cape Saint James, British Columbia. The field supervisor was experienced, and thus we have no reason to doubt the identifications. However, the lack of voucher specimens does give us pause. Gulf of Alaska (57°42’N, 136°29’W) (Personal communication: University of Washington, Burke Museum of Natural History and Culture Fish Collection, Seattle, Washington; confirmed by Katherine Maslenikov) to Islas San Benito, central Baja California (Miller and Lea 1972). Benthic; depth: 7–375 m (23–1,230 ft) (min.: Fay et al. 1978; max.: Drazen et al. 2015). ... : 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 122, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.5053.1.1, http://zenodo.org/record/5578008 ... |
