Eleginus gracilis (Tilesius, 1810) View in CoL .

Saffron Cod. To 55 cm (21.7 in) TL ( Cohen et al. 1990) and possibly to 63 cm (24.8 in) TL ( Mecklenburg et al. 2016). North Pacific Ocean and adjacent Arctic; Yellow Sea to East Siberian Sea and east to Simpson Strait, Nunavut, Canada (Renaud in Coad and Reist 2018); Beaufort, Chukchi, and Bering Seas, and Gulf of Alaska to Sitka, south-eastern Alaska (Mecklenburg et al. 2002). Marine, brackish, and fresh waters ( Dyldin and Orlov 2017); depth: to continental shelf edge at 200 m (656 ft) (Cohen in Cohen et al. 1990) or 360 m (1,181 ft) ( Kim 2004). Based on genetic data from fish from the Chukchi Sea and Gulf of Alaska this may be a species complex comprised of two species ( Sme et al. 2018). “Additional taxonomic study is needed to precisely delimit ranges” ( Mecklenburg et al. 2016). Molecular evidence indicated to investigators that Eleginus should be synonymized with Microgadus ( Carr et al. 1999) ; additional studies are needed for confirmation.
