Bothrocara nyx: a new species of eelpout (Perciformes: Zoarcidae) from the Bering Sea
A new species of eelpout, Bothrocara nyx, is described from the eastern Bering Sea slope on the basis of 142 specimens collected during bottom trawl surveys conducted from 2000 through 2004. This species has a small maximum size, a short snout, a relatively low number of small vomerine and palatine...
