Abstract
On the basis of data on bottom trawl catches in Pacific waters off the northern Kuril Islands and southeastern Kamchatka (1992–2002), quantitative indices of occurrence of the smooth lumpsucker Aptocyclus ventricosus and the range of preferred habitation temperature are provided. Its spatial and vertical distribution are analyzed, and specific features of size composition and the relationship between the length and weight of the body and between the average weight and the capture depth are considered; the diurnal, seasonal, and long-term dynamics of occurrence and of the amount of average catches is presented; data on the species composition of fish present in catches parallel to A. ventricosus are cited.
