* Arctogadus glacialis (Peters, 1874) ,

often dated 1872 ( Fricke et al. 2020). Arctic Cod or Polar Cod. To 60 cm (23.6 in) TL ( Coad 1995). Circumpolar as far northward as 81°41’N ( Mecklenburg et al. 2011); two records off Alaska in Beaufort Sea, but north of US territorial waters (Mecklenburg et al. 2002); a carcass washed up on the Chukchi coast near Wainwright, Alaska ( Mecklenburg et al. 2014). Pelagic and probably also benthic ( Jordan et al. 2003), typically far offshore beyond continental shelf under drifting ice and in ice cracks (Cohen in Cohen et al. 1990), also in river mouths ( Jordan et al. 2003); depth: 0–930 m (3,051 ft (min.: Renaud in Coad and Reist; max.: Jordan et al. 2003). Molecular studies showed no genetic difference between A. glacialis and Arctogadus borisovi Dryagin, 1932 ( Møller et al. 2002), the so-called Toothed Cod. Jordan et al. (2003) examined morphology of both forms and revised the genus, classifying A. borisovi as a junior synonym of A. glacialis .
