Anarrhichthys ocellatus Ayres, 1855. Wolf-eel . To no more than 203 cm (6.7 ft) (Pietsch and Orr 2019) or perhaps to 240 cm (nearly 8 ft) TL (Mecklenburg et al. 2002). South-eastern Bering Sea east to Cape Menshikof, west along Aleutian Islands to Krenitzin Islands, and Gulf of Alaska (Mecklenburg et al. 2002) to northern Baja California (31°41’N, 116°42’W) (Feeney et al. 2007). This species has also been reported to live around Isla Guadalupe, central Baja California (del Prado and Peters 2005), but without documentation. A Wolf-eel found on the northeastern Bering Sea coast at Nome after a major storm (Love et al. 2005) may have drifted there from farther south in the Bering Sea. Depth: intertidal to 417 m (1,368 ft) (min.: Miller and Lea 1972; max.: NWFSC-FRAM).
