"This report presents a synopsis of the current knowledge of the life history and ecology of the species, including details of its distribution in the EBS based on maps showing abundance data from the annual bottom trawl surveys of fish and invertebrates on the EBS shelf conducted from 1983 to 2013 by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Alaska Fisheries Science Center, Resource Assessment and Conservation Engineering Division. The biological characterizations are from the available published literature and are based on observations of populations in the native or invaded ranges of the species. This is the second in a series of such Technical Memoranda published to provide information on invertebrate species significant to the ecology of commercially important demersal and benthic fish and invertebrates of the EBS."
