Abstract

All member of the family Gonatidae do not occur uniformly across the Subarctic Pacific; we have here attempted to demonstrate the geographic distribution of each specie and its size clases. Gonatus berryi seems to be limited to the eastern portion of the northern north Pacific and the southernmost Bering Sea (Figs. 4A- C). No individuals were taken further west than 176°E. Adolescent (>20mm DML) occurred over the entire range, but the larvae (<10mm DML) occurred only in nearshore waters off the American coast. Post-larval individuals occurred at both limits of the distribution, off the American coast and south of the central Aleutians. This type of distribution suggests a spawning area localized in the California Current
