Zesticelus profundorum ( Gilbert, 1896) .

Flabby Sculpin. To 6.4 cm (2.5 in) TL ( Eschmeyer and Herald 1983). Sea of Okhotsk, northern Kuril Islands ( Sheiko and Fedorov 2000), and Pacific Ocean off south-eastern Kamchatka ( Bolin 1944) to south-eastern Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands (Mecklenburg et al. 2002) and off Vancouver Island, southern British Columbia ( Love et al. 2005) to northern Baja California ( Bolin 1944). Benthic; depth: 422–2,580 m (1,384 –8,465 ft) (min.: Hoff 2013; max.: Eschmeyer and Herald 1983). A reported minimum depth of 88 m (289 ft) ( Eschmeyer and Herald 1983) is evidently a printer’s error (Mecklenburg et al. 2002).
