Description
Summary:Liparis gibbus Bean, 1881. Dusky Snailfish, Polka-dot Snailfish, or Variegated Snailfish . To 52.4 cm (20.6 in) TL (Able and McAllister 1980). Beaufort Sea (as far east as 71°18’N, 150°06’W) (and possibly east of the Alaskan Beaufort Sea) and Chukchi Sea to north-western Bering Sea, eastern and western Bering Sea, Commander and Aleutian Islands, and Gulf of Alaska to northern British Columbia (Mecklenburg et al. 2018). Reported from south-eastern Kamchatka and northern Kuril Islands but there are no confirmed records from there or from the western Bering Sea south of the north-western portion (Mecklenburg et al. 2018). Also reported from throughout much of the Canadian Arctic (Coad in Coad and Reist 2018); the reports were tentatively included as Liparis bathyarcticus Parr, 1931 by Mecklenburg et al. (2018). Benthic; depth: 9–364 m (30–1,194 ft) (min.: Personal communication: University of Washington, Burke Museum of Natural History and Culture Fish Collection, Seattle, Washington; confirmed by Katherine Maslenikov; max.: Mecklenburg et al. 2011), or perhaps to 647 m (2,122 ft) (Mecklenburg et al. 2016). Historically confused with Liparis bathyarcticus and L . tunicatus (Mecklenburg et al. 2011).
