Popis: Two species, light dusky rockfish Sebastes variabilis (Pallas) and lesser prickleback Alectridium aurantiacum Gilbert et Burke, rare in the western Bering Sea were found in this area in the summer of 2017–2018. S. variabilis was recorded at three stations between capes Olyutorsky and Navarin at the depths of 130–353 m, A. aurantiacum, far to the north beyond the known range, for the first time, in one haul at a 68-m depth near the Cape Olyutorsky. Both are warm-water affinity species; their presence in the study area is presumably associated with the currently observed period of warming in the northern Pacific Ocean.
