Its range spans the North Pacific, from Yellow Sea and the Sea of Okhotsk in the west to the northern Gulf of Alaska and to Sitka, Alaska in the east. It also occurs in the Chukchi Sea (Arctic Ocean).[1][2] It normally occurs in shallow coastal waters at less than 60 m depth but may also be found at depths up to 200 m. The saffron cod may also enter brackish and even fresh waters, occurring quite far up rivers and streams, but remaining within regions of tidal influence.[1]
Saffron cods begin to mature during their third year of life. They feed on fish and small crustaceans. They are commercially fished in many areas of the northwestern Pacific. The country with the largest catch is Russia. It is used for human consumption in the Russian Federation and Japan, fresh or frozen.[1]
