The genus Os­merus is represented by anadromous and land­ locked forms in the Pacific, Arctic and Atlantic oceans and their drainages. Despite numerous efforts to clarify taxonomy within the genus in­ cluding a systematic revision of the Osmeridae (McAllister, 1963), the relationships remain ob­ scure. McAllister ( 1963) divided Osmerus into a European 0. eperlanus eperlanus and an Arctic, Pacific and western Atlantic 0. e. mordax, but indicated that should sympatric noninterbreed­ ing populations of these two subspecies be found, it would be necessary to consider them full species.
