Summary: | Rimicola muscarum (Meek & Pierson, 1895). Kelp Clingfish . To 7 cm (2.8 in) TL (Eschmeyer and Herald 1983). Glacier Bay, south-eastern Alaska (Mecklenburg et al. 2002) to Punta Baja, northern Baja California (Watson in Moser 1996). Also reported from Kachemak Bay, northern Gulf of Alaska (Abookire 2002): the arrival of R. muscarum in Kachemak Bay coincided with arrival of large quantities of floating bull kelp ( Nereocystis ) which may have been their mode of travel (Love et al. 2005). Benthic; depth: intertidal to 5 m (16 ft) (min.: Miller and Lea 1972; max.: Shelly Moore, pers. comm. to M.L.). The Glacier Bay specimen (Personal communication: University of Alaska Fairbanks Fish Collection, Fairbanks, Alaska) may have been lost, as a different fish is now in the jar (Love et al. 2005). Published as part of Love, Milton S., Bizzarro, Joseph J., Cornthwaite, Maria, Frable, Benjamin W. & Maslenikov, Katherine P., 2021, Checklist of marine and estuarine fishes from the Alaska-Yukon Border, Beaufort Sea, to Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, pp. 1-285 in Zootaxa 5053 (1) on page 202, DOI:10.11646/zootaxa.5053.1.1, http://zenodo.org/record/5578008 |
