CAPELIN, Mallotus villosus (Miiller 1776) Osmeridae: Smelts Literature Reported from Korea to the Juan de Fuca Strait between Vancouver Island and Washington in the North Pacific (Eschmeyer and Herald 1983). Range extends from the Bering Sea throughout the Arctic (Muus 1974) except off eastern Siberia (Hart 1973). Occurs in the Aleutians as far west as Attu Island (Wilimovsky 1964); in the North Atlantic, extends south to Maine, southern Greenland, Iceland, and Denmark (Leim and Scott 1966; Wheeler 1969, 1978). A pelagic species reported from the surface to 200 m, and oceanic in the Barents Sea (Andriyashev 1954; Wheeler 1978). Survey data Found from Cape Nizkiy on the Korak Coast (northeast of Cape Olyutorski) north throughout the Anadyr Gulf in the western Bering Sea and northeast of Cape Lisburne in the Chukchi Sea south throughout the eastern Bering Sea. Taken near Great Sitkin Island in the Aleutian Islands and from there east to Prince of Wales Island in southeastern Alaska. Depth range 25 to 725 m, most frequent- ly (45.2% of occurrences) on the middle shelf between 50 and 100 m, and 98.5% of occurrences from depths <200 m. Survey data do not extend the known geographic range, although they do provide a new maximum depth (725 m). However, this depth is about 250 m greater than the next greatest depth of occurrence, and it can probably be assumed that although the trawl was towed at 725 m, the capelin caught were much nearer the surface. Conclusions Zoogeography Life zone Range Depth Arctic-amphiboreal (circumboreal Atlantic northern boreal Pacific) Neritic-epipelagic (neritic) Throughout the Arctic south to Korea and the Juan de Fuca Strait in the Pacific and to Maine and Denmark in the North Atlantic Surface to 200 m, possibly to 725 m
