Osmerus dentex Steindachner & Kner, 1870. Arctic Smelt . To 34 cm (13.4 in) TL (Eriksen et al. 2020). White and Barents Seas eastward to Bathurst Inlet, Nunavut, also southward to North Korea, Japan, and Sea of Okhotsk, and in North America to Heceta Head, Oregon (Mecklenburg et al. 2011). Near coast; depth: surface to 194 m (636 ft) (min.: Mecklenburg et al. 2011; max.: NWFSC-FRAM). Also reported from deeper depths (i.e., 290 m, 951 ft, Federov et al. 2003), but deep records may represent fish entering nets nearer the surface than at the maximum depth of the tow. Anadromous. Previously as Osmerus mordax (Mitchill, 1814).
