Sebastolobus macrochir (Günther, 1877) View in CoL .

Broadbanded Thornyhead or Broadfin Thornyhead. To 41 cm (16.1 in) TL ( Poltev 2011). Seas of Japan and Okhotsk to Commander Islands (Mecklenburg et al. 2002), Pacific Ocean south of Aleutian Islands (eastward to 54°22’N, 166°21’W) ( Maslenikov et al. 2013), and Bering Sea south of Cape Navarin to eastern Bering Sea (Mecklenburg et al. 2002). Benthic; depth: 100–1,504 m (328– 4,934 ft) (min.: Orlov and Kochkin 1995; max.: Mecklenburg et al. 2002). Many of the earlier records for this species in the eastern Bering Sea pertain to S. alascanus . The vernacular “broadbanded thornyhead” may have originated as a typographical error for broadhanded (translation of macrochir ), in reference to the pectoral fins (Mecklenburg et al. 2002); the fish does not have any bands of color. The AFS–ASIH list of North American fish names (Nelson et al. 2004) now gives the name Broadfin Thornyhead for this species.
