"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.
