description
Deacon Rockfish. The maximum size, geographic, and depth ranges of this species are unclear due to previous confusion with Sebastes mystinus and Sebastes ciliatus. Thus, the values presented here should be regarded as tentative. To at least 41 cm (16.1 in) FL (Hannah et al. 2015). Vancouver Island, British Columbia (Frable et al. 2015) to at least Santa Rosa Island, southern California (John Butler, pers. comm to M. L.). Records of “ blue rockfish ” from Alaska (i. e., Chatham Strait and Kruzof Island, south-eastern Alaska) (Victoria O’Connell, pers. comm. to M. L.), and perhaps to Elfin Cove, south-eastern Alaska (Scott Meyer, pers. comm. to M. L.) are likely either this species or S. ciliatus. It is likely that all “ Blue Rockfish ” from the Bering Sea and the western Gulf of Alaska refer to S. ciliatus (referred to as dusky rockfish in Mecklenburg et al. 2002). Depth: at least 8 – 86 m (26 – 282 ft) (min.: Frable et al. 2015; max.: NWFSC-FRAM).
