• Description:
  "The great sculpin (Myoxocephalus polyacanthocephalus),
  
  a member of the Cottidae family, is
  
  found over sand and mud bottoms in the North
  
  Pacific Ocean from the Washington coast to the
  
  Bering Sea at depths up to 240 m (Eschmeyer et
  
  al., 1983). There are currently no targeted
  
  fisheries for sculpins in Alaskan waters;
  
  however, they are often caught incidentally in
  
  trawl and longline fisheries, with Myoxocephalus
  
  species making up a large proportion of the total
  
  sculpin catch (Reuter et al., 2006; Reuter and
  
  TenBrink, 2007)"--Page 1.
