Occella dodecaedron (Tilesius, 1813) .

Bering Poacher. To 23 cm (9.1 in) TL ( Tokranov 1992). Seas of Japan and Okhotsk, and Kuril Islands to Kamchatka, and western Bering Sea at Gulf of Anadyr; south-eastern Chukchi Sea (66°16’N, 161°21’W) ( Mecklenburg et al. 2011), and eastern Bering Sea at Norton Sound (Mecklenburg et al. 2002), and Bristol Bay ( Johnson et al. 2012) to western Gulf of Alaska (Mecklenburg et al. 2002). Northeastern Chukchi Sea (Barber et al. 1997) is unverified ( Mecklenburg et al. 2011). Benthic; marine and brackish waters ( Dyldin and Orlov 2017); depth: at least intertidal to 100 m (320 ft) (min.: Mecklenburg et al. 2016; max.: Kim and Kim 2019). Panchenko et al. (2016) list a maximum depth of 280 m (918 ft), but without attribution. One aberrant, questionable record from 375 m (1,230 ft) ( Allen and Smith 1988), perhaps from contamination of sample such as fish left in net from a previous, shallower tow, or fish entering the net above maximum depth of tow.
