Zusammenfassung:A striped cusk eel, Ophidion marginatum (Dekay) was captured in an impingement sample at Seabrook Station, in Seabrook NH, on 2 April 1997. This is the first record of a striped cusk eel in the Gulf of Maine and is a northern record for this species. The capture of this fish in New Hampshire waters is unusual because it occurred in April, outside of the season when southern fishes are typically found in New England waters.
