Abstract
The first recorded case of leucism is reported in the Greenland halibut Reinhardtiushippoglossoides from the waters off the northeastern tip of Sakhalin Island. The caught individual, a sexually mature female with a fork length of 83 cm, had depigmentation over almost entire body. The only pigmented parts on the eyed side of the body were pupils, a small spot on the caudal fin, a spot around the pectoral fin, and a border of the gill slit.
