The sawback poacher[2] (Sarritor frenatus) is a species of fish in the family Agonidae, the poachers.[3] It was described by Charles Henry Gilbert in 1896, originally under the genus Odontopyxis.[4] It is a marine, temperate water-dwelling fish which is known from the northern Pacific Ocean, including Japan , the Gulf of Anadyr, the Bering Sea, the Aleutian chain, and British Columbia, Canada . It dwells at a depth range of 18 to 975 metres (59 to 3,199 ft), and inhabits soft sediments. Males can reach a maximum total length of 27 centimetres (11 in).[3]
The sawback poacher is preyed on by bony fish including the Pacific cod, the Kamchatka flounder, the Pacific halibut, the Aleutian skate, and Careproctus cyclocephalus.[5] Its own diet consists of fish, fish eggs, fish offal, amphipods, euphausiids, isopods, shrimp, and polychaetes.[6]
