description
Kelp Rockfish. To 48.3 cm (19 in) TL (Rodríguez-Santiago 2021). Fort Bragg, northern California (Personal communication: Scripps Institution of Oceanography Fish Collection, La Jolla, California) to Bahía San Carlos (29 ° 36 ’ N, 115 ° 12 ’ W) (Phillips 1957), and Islas de Cedros and San Benito (28 ° 19 ’ N, 115 ° 35 ’ W) (Ramírez-Valdez et al. 2015), central Baja California. Benthic; depth: surface (nightlight; Scripps Institution of Oceanography Fish Collection, La Jolla, California), 3 – 144 m (10 – 472 ft) (min.: Personal communication: Scripps Institution of Oceanography Fish Collection, La Jolla, California; max.: NWFSC-FRAM). This species was reportedly taken in 190 – 300 m (623 – 984 ft) by Snytko (1986). However, this is much deeper than any other records and we are somewhat sceptical of its validity.
