description
Diamond Turbot. To 45.7 cm (18 in) TL (Miller and Lea 1972). Cape Mendocino, northern California (Miller and Lea 1972) to Gulf of California (Robertson and Allen 2015). Benthic; depth: surface (nightlight; Personal communication: Scripps Institution of Oceanography Fish Collection, La Jolla, California), intertidal to 46 m (150 ft) (min.: Personal communication: Scripps Institution of Oceanography Fish Collection, La Jolla, California; max.: Miller and Lea 1972). We note that there is a much deeper record of 91 m (298 ft) (Personal communication: Scripps Institution of Oceanography Fish Collection, La Jolla, California), however this specimen was not retained and thus we are unable to confirm. Recently as Hypsopsetta guttulata.
