Sebastes flavidus

Description

Sebastes flavidus (Ayres, 1862).

Yellowtail Rockfish. To 66 cm (26 in) TL (Phillips 1957). Eastern Aleutian Islands south of Unalaska Island (Mecklenburg et al. 2002) to Isla de Cedros, central Baja California (Ramírez-Valdez et al. 2015). Depth: surface (Miller and Lea 1972), intertidal to 549 m (1,801 ft) (min.: Chotkowski 1994; max.: Allen and Smith 1988). The extremely outlier maximum depth of 1,150 m (3,772 ft) in the NWFSC-FRAM database is without any documentation and is almost certainly in error.
