description
Archer Eelpout. To 42.7 cm (16.8 in) TL (Personal communication: California Academy of Sciences Fish Collection, San Francisco, California). Beaufort Sea, Alaska, and Kara, and Laptev Seas (Mecklenburg et al. 2016). Captures in the Chukchi Sea have not been verified (Mecklenburg et al. 2016). Benthic; depth: 120 to at least 1,934 m (394 – 6,344 ft), and perhaps to 2,151 m (7,055 ft) (Mecklenburg et al. 2016). Specimens with white bars and fewer vertebrae from Franklin Bay in the Canadian part of the Beaufort Sea identified as L. sagittarius (illustrated in McAllister et al. 1981; Mecklenburg et al. 2002) are L. marisalbi. Lycodes sagittarius consists of uniformly brown specimens only (Møller 2000). Lycodes sagittarius may be a junior synonym of Lycodes marisalbi Knipowitsch, 1906 (Mecklenburg et al. 2018).
