description
Canary Rockfish. To 76 cm (30 in) TL (Phillips 1957). Pribilof Islands (56 ° 47 ’ N, 170 ° 19 ’ W), Bering Sea (Maslenikov et al. 2013), and western Gulf of Alaska south of Shelikof Strait (Mecklenburg et al. 2002), to Punta Colnett, northern Baja California (Phillips 1957). Depth: young fish intertidal (Personal communication: Scripps Institution of Oceanography Fish Collection, La Jolla, California) and in shallow, subtidal waters; adults at about 18 m (59 ft) (Mecklenburg et al. 2002) to at least 458 m (1,502 ft) (min.: Mecklenburg et al. 2002; max.: DFO). The NWFSC-FRAM database contains one extreme outlier maximum depth of 838 m (2,749 ft), but the next deepest depth in that database is 439 m (1,440 ft). Without additional documentation the 838 m datum is likely in error.
