Abstract

The poacher Podothecus hamlini Jordan and Gilbert in Jordan and Evermann 1898 is redescribed on the basis of 35 specimens collected in northern Japan and southern Okhotsk Seas. This species can be distinguished from Podothecus veternus Jordan and Starks 1895 by the following combination of characters: 2–2.5 rows of dorsolateral plates between the depressed tip of first dorsal fin and the origin of second dorsal fin (almost no space in the latter); plates on caudal peduncle with conspicuous spines (no spine); no black bands on the body behind the head (present); and a black spot present between the 1st and 3rd spines of first dorsal fin (absent). It is suggested that there is no P. veternus in the Japan Sea and that all previous reports of this species are erroneous and refer to P. hamlini.

Comparison of holotype of Paragonus sturioides Guichenot, 1869 MNHN 2109 and its description (Guichenot, 1869) with paralectotype of Agonus gilberti Collett, [1895] NMW 77246 and description of A. gilberti (Collett, [1895]) is made. Some insignificant differences are regarded to be within the range of individual and clinal geographic variation. The same species was described independently by Guichenot and Collett under various names. According to the Principle of Priority and modern classification this species should be called Podothecus sturioides (Guichenot, 1869).
Article
In the Peter the Great Bay, there are 16 species of sea poachers (Agonidae), 13 of which occur in catches regularly. According to results of summer bottom trawl surveys, spatial and bathymetric distribution of six of the most mass species are considered and data on their size composition and biomass are presented. As the main factor determining distribution of most species, hydrological conditions of the bay and aquatic environmental inhomogeneity are considered.
