Porocottus is a genus of marine ray-finned fishes belonging to the family Cottidae, the typical sculpins. These fishes are found in the northern and northwestern Pacific Ocean.
Taxonomy
[edit]Porocottus was first proposed as a monospecific genus in 1859 by the American biologist Theodore Gill[1] when he described Porocottus quadrifilis from the Bering Strait.[2] The 5th edition of Fishes of the World classifies the genus Artediellus within the subfamily Cottinae of the family Cottidae,[3] however, other authors classify the genus within the subfamily Myoxocephalinae of the family Psychrolutidae.[1]
Species
[edit]There are currently nine recognized species in this genus:[4]
- Porocottus allisi (D. S. Jordan & Starks, 1904)[5]
- Porocottus camtschaticus (Schmidt, 1916)
- Porocottus coronatus Yabe, 1992
- Porocottus japonicus Schmidt, 1935
- Porocottus leptosomus Muto, Y. Choi & Yabe, 2002
- Porocottus mednius (T. H. Bean, 1898) (Pored sculpin)
- Porocottus minutus (Pallas, 1814)
