Abstract

Based on new materials from bottom trawl surveys, the range of the rare tentacled lumpsucker Cyclopsis tentacularis has been extended in the northern Sea of Okhotsk up to the western coast of Kamchatka. The morphometric characters, coloration features, some data on the species reproductive biology, and habitats, as well as on corollary species are provided.
