Chesnonia verrucosa (Lockington, 1880). Warty Poacher. To 20 cm (8 in) TL (Jordan and Evermann 1898). Bristol Bay, south-eastern Bering Sea, Alaska, Shelikof Bay, eastern Gulf of Alaska (Mecklenburg et al. (2002), to Purisima Point (34°45’N, 120°42’W), central California (Personal communication: Santa Barbara Natural History Museum Fish Collection, Santa Barbara, California). Benthic; depth: intertidal to 337 m (1,105 ft) (min.: Personal communication: University of Washington, Burke Museum of Natural History and Culture Fish Collection, Seattle, Washington; max.: NWFSC-FRAM). Originally described as a species in Occa, but the name Occa was already used for a genus of bird. Chesnonia was chosen as a replacement name. Some authors classify the species in Occella. Further study is needed to determine its correct placement (Sheiko and Mecklenburg 2004).
