Park Species Detail: There is some confusion over the correct name of this species. Lanigan and Wagner list it as coastrange sculpin (Cottus cognatus), however the scientific name for coastrange sculpin is "Cottus aleuticus" while the common name of "Cottus cognatus" is slimy sculpin. jkl-aknhp, Park Species Data Source: Lanigan, S and Wagner, T. 1985.
