Shmidt (1950), Quast (1968), and Horn and Allen (1978). McGowan (1971) defined zoogeographic zones in the oceanic North Pacific based primarily on the distribution of zooplankton species. It should be noted that abyssal zoogeographic regions are different from those found in surface waters (Menzies et al. 1973). The zoogeographic classification scheme used in this study for describing the geographic ranges of fish species is based primarily on the schemes proposed by McGowan (1971) and Briggs (1974) (Figure 2, 3; Table 2). Regions and provinces pertinent to distribu- tions of common fishes in the Bering Sea include the following: 1) Arctic Region; 2) Eastern Boreal Pacific Region (including the Aleutian and Oregonian Provinces); 3) Western Boreal Pacific Region (including the Kurile, Okhotsk, and Oriental Provinces); 4) Oceanic Boreal Pacific Region (including the Subarctic Province and Transition Zone); 5) California Region (including the San Diego and Cortez Provinces); 6) Japan Region; 7) Western Boreal Atlan- tic Region; 8) Eastern Boreal Atlantic Region; 9) Carolina Region; and 10) Mediterranean-Atlantic Region (Lusitania Province only). Zoogeographic classification of species geographic ranges The geographic range of each species usually extends over more than one zoogeographic province. Hence, the range of each species can be described in terms of the zoogeographic provinces through which it extends. Where one or two provinces are spanned by the range, the terms given here will be those of the provinces. Terms that require further definition include the following: amphiboreal—occurring in both Atlantic and Pacific boreal regions. circumboreal—occurring throughout the coastal boreal regions of an ocean. In the North Atlantic this includes both the Western Boreal Atlantic and Eastern Boreal Atlantic Regions. In the North Pacific this includes Oriental, Kurile, Okhotsk, Aleutian, and Oregonian Provinces. northeastern boreal Pacific—includes Kurile, Okhotsk, Aleutian, and Oregonian Provinces, but not the Oriental Province. northwestern boreal Pacific—includes Oriental, Kurile, Okhotsk, and Aleutian Provinces, but not the Oregonian Province. northern boreal Pacific—includes Okhotsk, Kurile, and Aleutian Provinces. eastern boreal Pacific—includes Aleutian and Oregonian Provinces. western boreal Pacific—includes Oriental, Kurile, and Okhotsk Provinces. oceanic boreal Pacific—includes the Subarctic Province and Tran- sition Zone. temperate—includes boreal (cold-temperate) and warm-temperate provinces. antitropical temperate—includes all temperate regions in both Northern and Southern Hemispheres. temperate North Pacific—includes all temperate regions in the North Pacific. eastern temperate Pacific—includes Aleutian, Oregonian, San Diegan, and Cortez Provinces.
