lengths are shown in Figure 21. No mature males 

 were found, but the females matured at about 78 mm 

 HL. Coryphaenoides armatus was captured in 

 temperatures ranging from 2.3° to 3.3°C (Fig. 6). 

 The majority of individuals, however, were caught 

 between 2.4° and 2.9°C during the study and the 

 average temperature was 2.6°C. 



Distribution of Macrourids With 

 Temperature 



Depth distribution has been used commonly 

 throughout the literature to delineate the habitat of 

 various fishes, including macrourids (Macpherson 

 1981). The temperature ranges for each species in
