Abstract

To determine the taxonomic position of wrymouths of the family Cryptacanthodidae in the system of the suborder Zoarcoidei, a study on molecular genetics and comparative morphology of Cryptacanthodes bergi from Peter the Great Bay (Sea of Japan) is conducted. Based on molecular genetic analysis using the genes of nuclear and mitochondrial DNA, Cryptacanthodes bergi is substantially similar to the representatives of the superfamily Stichaeoidae. Thus, the opinion of Makushok on a phylogenetically distinct position of wrymouths in relation to snake blennies and related families is not supported. The anatomical features of skull structure support the data of molecular genetics. The directions and time of distribution of wrymouths in the northwest Atlantic through the channel in the area of the Isthmus of Panama in approximately the late Miocene are discussed.
