Excerpt from List of Fishes of Alaska and Adjacent Waters, With a Guide to Some of Their Literature
The authors list 432 species known to occur in Alaska waters, supplemented by 137 species that have been recorded from neighboring waters and, in the authors' opinion, should be considered when new collections are identified. Species entries are annotated to include common names, recorded range, useful references, localities represented by specimens in the collection of the Auke Bay Fisheries Laboratory, and comments on taxonomy. Recorded geographic ranges are extended for 26 species.
