Liparis tunicatus Reinhardt, 1836. Greenland Seasnail or Kelp Snailfish . To 20.7 cm (8.1 in) SL (Stasko et al. 2016). Circumpolar, to as far north as 82°29’N, 62°15’W at Ellesmere Island (Mecklenburg et al. 2011); Beaufort and Chukchi Seas to northern Bering Sea at Saint Matthew Island, Alaska and Gulf of Anadyr, Russia (Mecklenburg et al. 2018) and Sea of Okhotsk (as Liparis marmoratus ) (Schmidt 1950). Adults benthic, juveniles associated with medusa (Coad in Coad and Reist 2018); depth: intertidal to 415 m (1,361 ft) (Mecklenburg et al. 2011), and perhaps to 600 m (1,968 ft) (Mecklenburg et al. 2011). Liparis herschelinus (Scofield, 1898) is a synonym (Mecklenburg et al. 2016). Liparis marmoratus Schmidt, 1950, identified from the Beaufort Sea, is likely L. tunicatus (Mecklenburg et al. 2016).
