Rimicola muscarum (Meek & Pierson, 1895) .

Kelp Clingfish. To 7 cm (2.8 in) TL (Eschmeyer and Herald 1983). Glacier Bay, south-eastern Alaska (Mecklenburg et al. 2002) to Punta Baja, northern Baja California (Watson in Moser 1996). Also reported from Kachemak Bay, northern Gulf of Alaska (Abookire 2002): the arrival of R. muscarum in Kachemak Bay coincided with arrival of large quantities of floating bull kelp ( Nereocystis) which may have been their mode of travel (Love et al. 2005). Benthic; depth: intertidal to 5 m (16 ft) (min.: Miller and Lea 1972; max.: Shelly Moore, pers. comm. to M.L.). The Glacier Bay specimen (Personal communication: University of Alaska Fairbanks Fish Collection, Fairbanks, Alaska) may have been lost, as a different fish is now in the jar (Love et al. 2005).
