BERING FLOUNDER, Hippoglossoides robustus Gill and Townsend 1897 Pleuronectidae: Righteye Flounders Taxonomk comment Fadeev (1978) considered the Bering flounder to be a subspecies of the flathead sole, Hippoglossoides elassodon. However, F. M. Utter (Northwest and Alaska Fish. Cent., Natl. Mar. Fish. Serv., NOAA, Seattle, WA 98112, pers. commun. February 1986), based on genetic evidence from Bering Sea populations, and Sakamoto (1984) considered the Bering flounder to be a valid species. Literature Reported from Hokkaido, Japan, the Tatar Strait, and the Sea of Okhotsk to the Aleutian Islands, Chukchi Sea, and southeastern Bering Sea (Andriyashev 1954; Quast and Hall 1972; Hart 1973; Howe 1981), and in depth from 18 to 293 m (Fedorov 1973a). Survey data Found from Cape Olyutorski in the western Bering Sea north to northeast of Cape Lisburne in the Chukchi Sea and south along the middle shelf of the eastern Bering Sea to northwest of Akutan Island. One anomalous record was reported from Little Sitkin Island in the Aleutian Islands. Depth range 25 to 425 m, most frequently (58.5% of occurrences) on the middle shelf between 50 and 100 m, and 96.8% of occurrences from depths < 150 m. Survey data were all within the known geographic range, but give a more precise distribution in the north and east, and extend the known depth range into deeper water. The flathead sole, Hippoglossoides elassodon, may have been confused with this species in the southeastern Bering Sea. Conclusions Zoogeography Life zone Range Depth Arctic-Okhotsk Inner shelf-outer shelf (middle shelf) From Hokkaido, Japan, and the Sea of Okhotsk north to northeast of Cape Lisburne, south in the Bering Sea to north- west of Akutan Island, and possibly west to Little Sitkin Island in the Aleutians 18 to 425 m
